A national sales tax, or value added tax as they call it in Europe, sounds interesting. But the presidential candidatein the past who floated the idea ( sigh…okay, Mike Huckabee ) kept seeing a need to nudge the sales tax percentage higher and higher to make it workable in hisestimation.Maybe the concept is workable here in the U.S. We just needa more serious candidate – and, one with better tax/economicadvisors – to make the thing float.
