One of the things that the Democrats have been trying to do is to institute a Value Added Tax. A VAT is a sneaky way for the feds to grab MORE taxes from the PEOPLE without it showing on your paychecks. A VAT is a form of national sales tax, which the VAT pushers say will reduce the national income tax. The flaw in that argument is why institute a new tax if you don't EXPECT TO RAISE MORE MONEY thru it. BTW, President Reagon is on ther record as OPPOSING the VAT. Can any of your Demo candidates claim the same??? -- Richard Covert AT&T Bell Laboratories ...ihnp4!ihuxq!covert (312) 979-7488
