Wink Hartman on Tax Reform 1/15/2010 Fairtax Survey Question asked April 25th, 2010: Do you now, and have you ever in the past, voiced support for a national Value Added Tax also known as a VAT tax? Answer April 28th, 2010: "The VAT has been tried time and time again in other countries and has failed almost universally. Instead of finding new taxes or ways to further complicate our tax-code, we need to simplify the tax-code. I am strongly opposed to any Value Added Tax" - Wink Hartman Campaign
