It appears that not everyone read the 9-9-9 analysis - or maybe it's like talking to a 'brick wall' if they have!

Instead of snide remarks & attempts at childish humor - how about a discussion from those about what they find as a problem to the plan - if in fact, they even understood what they read.

Ahh. Thanks for posting that analysis.

Citizens, then, are empowered to eliminate bureaucratic policies that get in the way of job creation. His policy proposes elimination of the minimum wage; the elimination of union derived prevailing wage rates, and the creation of school vouchers, among other things. Understand, these are not mandated, but are requirements to be part of an opportunity zone. A community could continue to do business as usual but miss the important job growth elements of his plan and remain uncompetitive to those communities around them, and not make the changes being asked, its their choice.

All in all, the idea of these OZs is actually quite brilliant and paves the way for phase #2 of 999 which abolishes income taxes entirely. And reform the culture back towards one of self-sufficiency and local governance, rather than one based on Federal dependency.
