| 26. Senate just voted down |

a resolution on a VAT tax, but Obama's debt commission says it's on the table. I don't see it getting any support though. As for a national sales tax republicans have been pushing that for years under the 'fair tax' scheme. They would have to abolish the IRS to do it so I don't see that happening either. Both are regressive. A flat tax might do something..but first let the unpaid tax cuts for the top 1-2% expire..raise their tax up to 50%..stop the earmarks..end the wars..
