No it not. It 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
A Federal sales tax is at rest. It doesn't exist. Once it exists, it's in motion, so then force has to brought against it to restrain it or stop it.
The real problem is spending anyway. This is all interesting, but it doesn't solve the real problem. Show me the government employees laid off since fall of '08, and we'll compare those to the private sector. That's the problem. Let's share the sacrifice as the president likes to say.
