ELECTIONS !!
[ What could possibly prevent 9-9-9 from becoming 12-12-12, then 16-16-16 as congress gets to tool with it over the years?
ELECTIONS !! ]
Under 999 raising the rate would be political SUICIDE!!! Where as now thousands of pages of tax code can be pushed through all the confusion and the average joe sits there and goes, huh?
Skin in the game is what makes it work.
You see the British weren’t smart enough to write tax code like we have now 200 years ago, had they written the code like it is now we would still be a British colony. The code now “HIDES” a lot of really gets taxed from the consumer and worker and places extra burdens on the producer.
The current tax code is a propaganda Tool of the left. The poor and middle class get a “refund” from the government while the business owners get the shaft. and the people getting the refund don’t realize they have been swindled for some of their money and continue to vote “Progressive”.
I want to have faith in your one word answer to my question. I really do. But, it is elections that gave us the scurrilous reprobates we have running the country now.
