I would love a VAT tax instead of the never ending stream of taxes we pay on everything else.

Americans are stupid. They see a higher tax on an iPhone they don't need, they will cry about it.

But they pay more at the end of the year on income tax, property tax, car registration, etc., they could care less.

Most Americans don't even look at their pay stub, and are more than happy to overpay their income taxes every paycheck so they get a bigger tax return at the end of the year.

They don't realize that money was theirs to begin with.

They complain about not being able to become wealthy while they give the government an interest free loan, when they could be investing that money and earning on it.
