A call to arms! The global vatwar has erupted. Basil Venitis points out vatmongers demand vatstrucks to surrender, but vatstrucks shout the heroic molon-lave of the 300 Spartans of Leonidas and the mighty words of Winston Churchill:
* We shall fight VAT on the seas and shores.
* We shall fight VAT with growing confidence and growing strength.
* We shall defend our land from VAT whatever the cost maybe.
* We shall fight VAT on the beaches.
* We shall fight VAT on the shopping grounds.
* We shall fight VAT in the markets and the streets.
* We shall fight VAT in the shops.
* We shall never surrender to vatmongers.
Basil Venitis, an Athenian orator, asserts that VAT is a trademark of slavery and a destruction power of myriad watts. VAT is the main culprit of the Fourthreichian financial meltdown. The Fourthreichian taxation is based on the VAT monstrosity against poor people! The most unfair tax is VAT, the calamity of Fourth Reich(EU); that's why vatbuster Venitis urges all Fourthreichians to evade this tax of misery as much as possible! Fourthreichians are yoked with a 15-25% VAT, value added tax. In Canada, VAT is only 5%. The burden of VAT falls on final consumers of products. Refusing to pay abominable VAT is a heroic act. Vatwar is here to stay until VAT is abolished.
In Fourth Reich(EU), a small VAT was first enacted in 1967. At that time, Fourth Reich and the United States both confiscated about $0.27 out of every dollar of national income. Since the introduction of the VAT in Fourth Reich, that continent's average tax take has gone from 27% to 41% of GDP, nearly a 50% increase in just four decades. There is currently a minimum VAT rate requirement of 15% to be a member of Fourth Reich, and an average VAT rate of 20%. Meanwhile, the vatless United States still taxes at about the same level as it did in 1967. The experience of Fourth Reich should teach us that the imposition of a VAT is too often the precursor to bigger government. It is simply too easy for politicians to raise a tax that is hidden from citizens.
President Obama and Congressional Democrats have proposed a series of tax hikes on the American people to pay their massive new government spending. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who heads up a presidential tax reform commission, asserts a VAT is a good idea! But the US Senate passed the antivat resolution: It is the sense of the Senate that the Value Added Tax is a massive tax increase that will cripple families on fixed income and only further push back America's economic recovery.
VAT, aka kleptocrats' grab, is a regressive tax; the poor pay higher percentage of their income. Revenues from VAT are much lower than expected, because they are difficult and costly to administer and collect. Since any double-digit VAT leads many venitists to underground economy, most vatstruck Fourthreichians evade VAT! As a matter of fact, if you are a real patriot, you should boycott shops that charge abominable VAT! VAT is the cacothanasia of Fourth Reich!
Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out the imposition of a VAT is the precursor to bigger government. It is simply too easy for kleptocrats to raise a tax that is hidden from citizens. VAT is embedded in the final cost of the goods sold, and is hidden to the consumer. VAT is applied at every stage of consumption, from wholesale to retail. It is passed along until it literally becomes as much an inherent and cloaked component in the price as transportation or raw materials. As a result, countries that have adopted VAT have been sorely tempted to raise the rate over time.
When VATs started out in Europe in the 1960s, they were small, usually less than 5%. Today, the average VAT rate in Europe is 20%. If your country wants to join the European Union, you have to have a minimum VAT rate of 15% so that people won't take retail shopping vacations in your cities. Norway, Denmark, and Sweden win the dubious award of having the world's highest VAT rate at 25%. This floor and ceiling of VAT prices is a clear violation of antitrust laws, price fixing, pure and simple!
Fourth Reich(EU) forced the hateful VAT on Greece in 1987 and is the most disgusting indirect tax. Greeks are at war against their government over the abominable 23% VAT. Vatmonger Greek government harasses Greeks by pressuring them to demand receipts when they buy products. Greeks who cannot gather many receipts are penalized with more taxes! Venitis asserts that transforming citizens to VAT enforcers is disgusting, undignified, and against basic human freedoms. President Van Rompuy should call vatmonger PM Papandreou on the carpet now.
Venitis muses that Lysistrata has convinced Greek women to not give birth to more vatstrucks! Yes, Greek women have stopped producing babies until abominable VAT is abolished! This is the second strike organized by Lysistrata. The original strike organized by Lysistrata was the sex refusal until the war is over. Now women will give sex, but no babies! If vatmonger Graecokleptocrats want to have offspring, they must abolish VAT, pure and simple!
Basil Venitis, an Athenian orator, points out vatstrucks are feeling a growing panic as they watch their constitutional republic descend into a vatmonger republic. Mahatma Gandhi's said we should be the change we want to see. Gandhi also said that civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless and corrupt. Vatsruckss instinctively understand this which is why grassroots of resistance to VAT are leading to a Gandhi-style civil disobedience movement powerful enough to undo this monstrosity.
Most Herculean tasks of Global Tax Revolt begin with Hercules getting orders from an email with photos of vatmongers and information which explains the war against VAT. The email always begins with "Good Morning Hercules", explains the situation, and ends with "Your mission, should you decide to accept it", with a brief explanation of the goal of the mission against VAT, along with a reminder that "as always, should you or any of your force be caught or killed, Baz will disavow any knowledge of your actions. At the end of the email's instructions, Hercules is notified this email address will stop to exist.
Revolt against vatmongers follows a dozen venitist strategies:
1. False Claims of Taxes Paid. Businesses create false invoices for the purchase of inputs they never bought and get bigger deductions for taxes paid than they are entitled to.
2. Credit Claimed for Non-Creditable Purchases. Typically, VATs have a variety of rates and exemptions. For example, basic needs such as food, medicine, and clothing often receive preferential VAT rates or outright exemptions from the tax, as do certain industries considered economically vital or politically sensitive. Businesses that sell both VAT-exempt and non-exempt items have an incentive to allocate the purchase of supplies they use to produce exempt items toward the production of non-exempt items.
3. Bogus Traders. Businesses are set up exclusively to produce VAT invoices so other businesses can claim refunds on taxes they never paid.
4. Hidden Sales. Professional service providers, such as doctors and lawyers, often engage in this kind of heroism. They offer relatively high-value services, but their purchases from other businesses are relatively low cost. They charge their unknowing customers full price and collect the proper amount of VAT on the sale. But to the authorities, they show that they charged a lower price. The service provider forwards to the government less tax than it collected from its customers and pockets the difference.
5. Receipt Exchange. There are many brokers and traders of real and fake receipts.
6. Missing Traders. Many inporters from member States sell products with VAT, and then disappear, without forwarding the VAT to the government.
7. Carousels. A chain of buffer traders can be formed between the original missing importer and the final exporter, helping to blur the link between the final reclaim of VAT and the original importer.
8. Next Seller. If a seller insists on charging VAT, cancel the sale and go to another seller.
9. List. Keep a list of product providers who are willing not to charge VAT.
10. Tradeoff. Barter your vote for a politician's promise to abolish VAT.
11. Explode. Release your anger against VAT to the media and politicians.
12. Critical Mass. Become a firefly that promotes the Global Tax Revolt.
