Here's my prediction of what will happen: a 20-30 percent sales tax will be implementen - but because of massive fraud (making headlines, etc.), the sales tax will be changed to a VAT (valua dded tax) like we have in Europe. When Britain went from sales tax to VAT, the number of public administrators 6-doubled - and the number of affected private entities 19-doubled jacob braestrup Danish Taxpayers Association
