TIL america has a VAT..?

But yeah, other than that, this list makes too much sense for most people. they will shit on it because 1) they have no imagination and 2) they don't have enough knowledge to see that each point actually has a reason and seems to have been given a fair amount of thought

Lul.

But still - abolish sales tax and get on the VAT train to join the modern economies.

No it doesn't, I think it should have a VAT that is specifically for luxury items like yachts and private jets.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

I see. I read it as "make the vat only apply to luxury goods"
