Dudes, stop getting this thread off track.
We’re talking about the modified version proposed by one of the 999 creators. It doesn’t contain a sales tax or VAT.
If you want to disucss the sales tax, go to another thread. Let’s keep this on on subject.
I am not a “dude”.
And no one should allow the VAT argument to stand anywhere it is posted.
It IS relevant to this thread because the reason people are against the sales tax is:
1) It is being misrepresentated as a VAT
2) People don’t understand the concept of embedded taxes going away.
Also - 999 is a bridge to the Fair Tax which is 23% sales tax. If you take out the 9% because it’s too regressive - how are you going to EVER sell the Fair Tax?
