Like he said.
Actually, in pre-historic pre-EU days we had something called purchase tax. That WAS like USA sales tax. Then we fell for the euro sales pitch and signed up for their new fangled VAT instead. I doubt we knew what we were agreeing to.
This was shortly after we quit blaming our economic woes on the Gnomes of Zurich, and had realised that the White Heat of Technology could not save us either. We may not have had the smartest politicians but we had the Best Slogans.
And really good public libraries.
