9-9-9 does a few things.

First, it means the underground economy would contribute and so would illegal aliens via the 9% sales tax on new items only.

Second, there is federal taxation but those three flat-rate categories. No FICA, no estate, no loopholes.

Since there's no FICA, all workers will pay less than they currently do.

The 9-9-9 rates can easily be locked in with a good balanced budget amendment like the one associated with Cut, Cap & Balance which requires two-thirds supermajority votes in congress to raise any tax rates.
