Which is an utterly irrational complaint to make about 9-9-9.
There is nothing that stops the current tax rates from being hiked by Congress. The notion that 9-9-9 gives Congress MORE power, as Tax Lawyer Bachaman claimed, is completely divorced from reality. Congress has that power now, there is nothing in 9-9-9 that gives them any more power then they currently have now.
9-9-9 actually makes it much harder to raise taxes. Since everyone pays, everyone knows any tax hike will be paid by them personally.
9-9-9 eliminates ALL the current loopholes Congress currently has in the Tax Code to favor this or that group. It also eliminates any ability to pass off goverment spending as someone else paying for what you are getting. Since everyone pays, everyone knows they will pay more to “get stuff” from the Government.
So find a new attack line cause that one is completely baseless
This is my real argument - Congress will never pass this program because it reduces their power. Democrats won't vote for any change that won't exempt their key constituents and allow them to control the US population through taxes and exemptions.
I think it's a great plan that would get more people involved in keeping taxes low, but that's exactly why it would never pass.
