A new value-added tax (VAT) is "on the table" to help the U.S. address its fiscal liabilities, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday night. Pelosi, appearing on PBS's "The Charlie Rose Show" asserted that "it's fair to look at" the VAT as part of an overhaul of the nation's tax code. "I would say, Put everything on the table and subject it to the scrutiny that it deserves," Pelosi told Rose when asked if the VAT has any appeal to her. The VAT is a tax on manufacturers at each stage of production on the amount of value an additional producer adds to a product. Pelosi argued that the VAT would level the playing field between U.S. and foreign manufacturers, the latter of which do not have pension and healthcare costs included in the price of their goods because their governments provide those services, financed by similar taxes. "They get a tax off of that and they use that money to pay the healthcare for their own workers," Pelosi said, using the example of auto manufacturers. "So their cars coming into our country don't have a healthcare component cost. "Somewhere along the way, a value-added tax plays into this. Of course, we want to take down the healthcare cost, that's one part of it," the Speaker added. "But in the scheme of things, I think it's fair look at a value- added tax as well." Pelosi said that any new taxes would come after the Congress finishes the healthcare debate consuming most lawmakers' time, and that it may come as part of a larger overhaul to the tax code. The Speaker also emphasized that any reworking of the tax code would not result in an increase in taxes on middle-class Americans.

I suggest Pelosi evolve a methane bladder, since it's only proper that sane folk will be farting in her face.
In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report. Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject. Uh oh.
Redneck vs. cop: Redneck. Cop vs. n-word: Cop. n-word vs. white guilter: n-word. Being a lawyer knocks you down a peg, so redneck lawyer vs. cop and n-word lawyer vs. white guilter are toss-ups. White guilter lawyers are the lowest form of life. Uh oh. Agreed. Translation: 50%+ of your income in direct and hidden taxes is not enough. We want more.

Helping choke off the gasping-for-air economy with a VAT oughta off-set about .0002% of the $3 trillion in Gubmint liabilities between the Iraq/A-Stan wars, TARP, and the Socialist-Stimulus boondoggle. Nancy Pelosi is the Gilligan of the Democrat Party.
Idiotic as it sounds, I'm taking odds on how long it will take the to GOP give in.

Give in? They come to the bargaining table pre-compromised. They are assumed to have "given in" in spirit before they're even asked a question. Nothing like the hell of a VAT AND a "progressive" income tax for ya'. Talk about exactly the opposite of how this nation was supposed to run.

wrong. "....Great Britain which is the agent for the Pope, is in charge of the USA ..What people do not know is that 'the so called Founding Fathers and King George were working hand-in-hand to bring the people of America to their knees, to install a Central Government over them and to bind them to a debt that could not be paid. First off you have to understand that the UNITED STATES is a corporation and that it existed before the Revolutionary war....."

When you do the math in the Bible, the most they were afflicted was 360 years, 40 shy of the 400. When you figure in the historical record, they were afflicted only about 160 years.

Fine by me. This article is about Pelosi farting out of her mouth about a VAT. I'll stick to the subject at hand.
