I'd love to see a federal VAT… but only if it replaced the federal income, social security, capital gains, inheritance, and other taxes. And only if it was written in law that it could only increase with a 2/3rds majority vote in both houses.

In case any of you need to be reminded, oh yeah – Obamacare will freakin get you killed early lol:

1 trillion = we get to die earlier, poorer, and in alot more pain

but at least some impersonal techonocratic death pannel will decide for me so I dont have to worry myself with such tough choices

and they will still give me end of life counseling

and I get to feel GOOD about myself since my illegal alien neighbors will continue to sponge off me for free care and the local teenagers abortion will be subsidized with my tax $$$$

Fleece the young, kill off the Elderly early, bankrupt small business, screw the taxpayer – enrich Big Health Insurance, Big Companies, & Big Union – empower Washington POLs so we all have to go begging to them for hanouts for HC like they were Kings & Queens – yeah, sign on to Obamacare ye useful idiots!

yeah, Obamacare is pimpin’ and hoein’ bro!

[...] I thought Congress couldn’t get more absurd. [...]

So when the bill fails, what will you say then? Nothing of course, you'll go on as if nothing ever happened.
