VAT on the price tag makes so much more sense than trying to do mental math on the taxes (at least before we all were carrying around calculators in our phones). The pledge of allegiance is indoctrination, pure and simple. I stopped doing it in High School and was ostracized for it. I’ve switched to Metric, I had to trick my phone to think I’m in Canada to do it.

@rightlyso8507 i think each nation has their own rates. Denmark is the highest but it covers the costs a huge social services system for all citizens (and that is why they didn’t take in a lot of the migrants that flooded Europe as too many new people at once would have caused that system to collapse.) Bernie Sanders loves what Denmark is doing, but scaling it up to a nation our size is likely impossible.

@Pushing_Pixels too many Americans have been brainwashed into thinking universal health care is communism. It’s not, but good luck convincing them otherwise.
