New Poll - VAT

I have put a poll about the Value Added Tax, since this will be on Obama's agenda in the future. B-Daddy's very short take on the idea of a new tax. Hell No. Now what if we threw in the same bill, the total elimination of the income tax? Now you're talking. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen, but I want to hear from the readers anyway. The other drawback of the VAT is that it is even less visible than the income tax and payroll tax, at least I can look at my pay stub and see what those are costing me. The VAT is so well hidden it really allows government to grow, but only when the private sector grows. Since it is simple, it will distort the economy far less than the income tax. Regardless, please take our poll. I'd like to hear from the Coffee Party on this issue, especially in the comment.
