I have a problem with people who don’t like the 999 plan. I would LOVE to have my income tax reduced to 9%. That would many times over offset what the 9% tax on things we buy would be. Besides, we can decide what to buy, and if we don’t want to pay the 9% tax to buy something, then we don’t buy it.

I do think that food and medicine should be exempt from any kind of tax, though.

Why? If we’re not going to tax the “necessities” where do you start taxing? With clothing? Shelter? Utilities? Cable TV?

Spoken like a RED MEAT crowd member drinking the TALKER Cain kool-aid. However even for a RED MEAT crowd member this statement is foolish beyond belief.

You grow your own food, I gather. And your prescription medications too.
