Remember Brian Nichols -- the guy who shot and killed all those people in Atlanta?

Economic wonks (I'm thinking right now of Bruce Bartlet) say that these kind of value added/consumption taxes adversely effect the economy less than our income tax does. This is one instance where Europe may actually have something to teach us Americans.
Should we give parents a financial incentive to become better parents? I thought this post was interesting.
