Whereas the VAT unfairly targets low and middle income 
wage earners by assessing value on every production ac-
tivity and passing the cost on to the consumer; 
Whereas Americans have already been subject to one of the 
highest tax increases in our Nation’s history as part of 
recently passed health care reform; 
Whereas the VAT has been widely adopted by European na-
tions and is routinely cited as encouraging public spend-
ing at the cost of private job creation; 
Whereas Denmark enacted a 9 percent VAT in 1962; 
Whereas Denmark’s VAT has surged to 25 percent in 2010; 
Whereas like Denmark, as the government’s thirst for rev-
enue increases, the VAT will be used to quench its thirst; 
Whereas the solution to America’s worsening government fis-
cal outlook is not to increase taxes; 
Whereas the solution to America’s economic situation is to 
cut spending; and 
Whereas Congress could get America’s economy back on 
track by focusing on tax relief and simplification, liability 
reform, regulatory reform, health care security, and en-

Resolved, That the House of Representatives con-
siders the Value Added Tax a massive tax increase that
