The Plot to Impose a National Sales Tax or Value Added Tax

 

NoisyRoom   "A devilish plot is afoot to impose new national taxes on the American People.  It is a masterful piece of trickery because the authorization for the new national taxes is buried within Compact for America’s version of a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution.

"Furthermore, the balanced budget amendment does nothing to control federal spending; and transforms our Constitution from one of limited and defined powers to one of general and unlimited powers. ¹

"Yet this monstrosity is pending in Michigan as SB 306 ² and in North Carolina as HB 366. ³ Legislators in four States, Alaska, Georgia, Mississippi and North Dakota, have already passed it.
Let’s look at Sections 1-6 of Compact for America’s balanced budget amendment:
  It does Nothing to Control Federal Spending
"Section 1 allows Congress to spend as much as they take from us in taxes and add to the national debt. That’s a good idea?

"Sections 2 and 3 permit Congress to raise the debt whenever 26 States agree.  States are addicted to federal funds. Will 25 States agree not to take more federal funds?" . . .
