Today during the Cavuto hour on Murdoch's network the lies of the Right Wing Republicans took on a new trejectory.
It stated last week with the "Fear Zone" with O'Reilly and it is continuing this week with the 'Infotainers' of the Murdoch political war machine.
Robert Gibbs this morning clearly stated there is no National Sales Tax (Value Added Tax) in the works. Yet. The Murdoch network is promoting that as if a realty.
They have no balanced approach to such a subject as the nations of Europe that have such a tax are far smaller than the USA both in geographic area and population and do not have the tax base of the USA.
The entire subject is closed and there is no further reason to discuss it as if it is a reality by this administration.
Murdoch does nothing than propagate lies and the public gets confused regarding the issues. This is a news organization to value? Could have fooled me.

He also said that Obama officials did not seem to be seriously considering a VAT....
