VAT

Obama's economic advisor is saying the US should look at having a VAT (value added tax) like Europe. This is in some ways similar to a flat tax, though a VAT gathers more revenue. Well this could actually gain momentum if we dropped our progressive income tax.

Donald Trump will win in 2020 because America can't do better.

At some point Americans will realize that politicians race bait for a reason, in the end, they are all the same. They keep their job by having 'classes' and having those 'classes' attack each other. They always have. The hatred from Trump they espouse, isn't real. Their opinion of him, isn't real. They just want to keep their job. That is all. Why do they really hate Trump?

I offer it happens when social imperatives over come common sense; when votes matter more than the People and a system seems so jaded and corrupt that hope can only be found in a rich mogul who has never held office. I will attempt to keep an open mind but I simply cannot find a s...
