“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” ~attributed to Benjamin Franklin
Right now we have a system that rewards failure and punishes success, a system that crushes innovation and tears as the very heart of our economic system by penalizing small businesses.
Do I care if some of the rich are going to get richer with 999? No.
I see the potential for ALL of us to live in a thriving economy. The potential for ALL of us to benefit from less regulations. THERE WILL BE LESS POOR PEOPLE.
Damnit, my husband and I have each dreamed of opening our own small businesses after he gets out of the army. In this economy, our dreams are DOA. 999 will bring us back from the brink and allow us to ALL flourish.
So I’m supposed to kill my dreams just because Obama will benefit from the new tax code, too?
I’m not stupid enough to cut off my nose just to stick it to Obama.
And when you come to understand that your taxes will rise to make up the revenue shortfall that 9-9-9 will create, then you will understand. I run a small business now. My taxes will rise under the 9-9-9 Plan, as will many small business owners, and middle class families who can barely afford the taxes they pay now. 9-9-9 is not a solution to our present dillemma, and yes, the end of the republic will be swift when social security and medicare benefits no longer have a revenue source, and as tax revenues decline from their present level by $600 billion or more, and as federal spending continues on at the present level. Do you really think you’ll be getting a tax cut? Have you even bothered to run the numbers? Thry asking an accountant if you are incapable.
