There is that danger under any tax system — I’m old enough to remember top marginal income tax rates of 90% under the current system. So clinging to this current corrupt tax code isn’t going to protect you from greedy politicians increasing rates.
The beauty of 9-9-9 is that it is *flat*. Everyone pays the same, no loopholes, no deductions, no giveways. That means the rich and powerful will no longer be able to buy off politicians and get special deals written for them into the tax code.
True, 9-9-9 is flat only initially; it could easily bloat back into another corrupt code of loopholes and giveaways like we have now. If we let it. And if we do, then we deserve what we get.
