They're in the business of sensationalism, not news.
They make up stuff like that to stir their right-wing base.
They've even reported the financial reform bill means the government will be running the banks.
Sorry but I do not understand what a “right-wing base” is any more than I understand what a “left-wing base” would be. From where I stand, there are those who support and defend our Constitutionally limited system of government and the documented intentions and beliefs under which it was adopted, and there are those who work to subjugate our constitutionally limited system of government and ignore the documented intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was adopted.

Those who reject abiding by the intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was agree to, as those intentions and beliefs may be documented from historical records, wish to remove the anchor and rudder of our constitutional system so they may then be free to “interpret” the Constitution to mean whatever they wish it to mean.
Seems to me FoxNews is once again doing the heavy lifting for big government and trying to prepare the public for a new tax to fund the tyrannical big spending Washington Establishment. Almost every show on FoxNews is telling us a VAT is coming, but not one show on FoxNews reports such a tax would violate both the letter and intentions for which the rule of apportionment was put into our Constitution.
In fact, a VAT, as well as the alleged fairtax and our present tax calculated from “income”, all violate that part of our Constitution under which our founding fathers intended that if Congress did not raise sufficient revenue from imposts, duties and miscellaneous excise taxes, and decided to impose a general tax among the States to raise additional revenue, that general tax would have to be apportioned so that the people of each State would be obligated to pay a portion of a total sum needed which would be based upon its representation in Congress.
The founding father’s fair share formula for any general tax among the States is as follows:
State`s population _________________ X SUM TO BE RAISED = STATE`S FAIR SHARE OF TAX Total U.S. Population
The agreed upon rule among the States for any “general tax” was that taxation and representation would be fixed by each State’s population size! But under the FoxNews touted VAT, the people of those States paying the largest share of the tax into the federal treasury would not receive their representation in Congress proportionately equal to their financial contribution! Why does FoxNews not report this fatal defect in a VAT?
Abiding by our Constitution’s rule of apportionment would stop the progressive’s agenda of “social justice” in its tracks under which these progressives now vote in mass, but 40 percent are free from contributing in mass via taxes calculated from “incomes“!
Why is it that not one personality on FoxNews takes the time to educate their viewing audience to the founding father’s intentions under which the rule of apportionment was agreed to and would be violated if a value added tax were laid among the States?

“The proportion of taxes are fixed by the number of inhabitants, and not regulated by the extent of the territory, or fertility of soil”3 Elliot’s, 243, “Each state will know, from its population, its proportion of any general tax” 3 Elliot’s, 244 ___ Mr. George Nicholas, during the ratification debates of our Constitution.
Very interesting, though not what I expected from your post.
The V.A.T. tax (Vaue Added Tax) is on the table.This administration knows full well that money is needed, though they do not recognize that their policies have actually reduced revenue from income tax, while increasing spending dramatically. Therefor, the more taxes they can envision and pass, the better (in their opinion).
This isn't going to go away. They will push for it, and they will get it, if they can.
All Americans should oppose this. This adds tax at every level of production, which consumers pay. It makes everything cost more. Worse, it can be increased without us even knowing. The consumer gets "screwed" no matter how you look at it.
Fox news has an agenda to hype ANY story that can keep the public at unrest and be against our President. If McCain were elected FOX news would have a different agenda. People that want the real news know FOX isnt going to deliver and thats why FOX news is considered entertainment and not solid news reporting...

What is needed for real tax reform is to add the following 32 words to our Constitution which would put Congress back in its box:
The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money
If these words were added to our Constitution, they would bring us back to our Constitution's original tax plan.
