Here's something to remember about a VAT tax as opposed to a straight up sales tax. A VAT tax is hard to see. The government get's alot of money but you can't figure out how. So instead of buying a new T.V. for $1000 and paying a 15% sales tax that angers you, you now just pay $1150 for the same T.V. without a "sales tax". The government is still getting the $150, you just don't have the tax in your face.
That's how people like your co-workers get suckered.

such a scary thought... I struggle just to survive now & the thought of everything going up even more freaks me out. How anyone (besides those imposing them) can see the good in this tax is beyond me.
