9-9-9 is a plan to cut Government. Instead of racing back to Perry HQ for the next smear attack to post actually LEARN something that challenges your Perry worship for a change.
This is the thing I think Perry supporters are missing.
The growth of our out of control Federal Government starts with the implementation of the income tax.
As long as you give politicians a potentially unlimited income stream, as the income tax does, they will find ways to spend it.
We can cut and cut and cut but the spending always comes back. Reagan cut the most of any modern President and the spending came back plus more.
Until you address the revenue side, Federal Spending is not going to be controlled no matter how much any President cuts. Reagan cut and cut and cut and all that plus more Fed spending came back within a decade.
You have to limit the Congress's ability to spend and borrow money (Cut, Cap, and tax) but then you also need to limit it's revenue stream. 9-9-9 does that.
The genius of 9-9-9 is, for the 1st time, there is a leading Presidential Candidate putting out a plan to limit Fed revenue. The key components is the sale tax. By spreading a lower tax burden to all Americans he creates an insurmountable problem for any future tax raises.
How do you convince people to give you more taxes when they personally know they will pay for the tax hike?
See the trick now is Congress can always disguise any tax hike by hiding it inside the overly complex tax code. By tweaking around the edges with the tax code they can gradually and systematically raise taxes with virtually no one noticing.
9-9-9 eliminates that ability to “tinker around the edges” of a mind numbingly complex tax code

What do you think introducing sales tax on top of income taxes does?
