Under 999, EVERY person would pay taxes and pay the same rate.

So you think this is all just going to "happen?" To choose just one thing, how about the Earned Income Tax Credit? You think that's just going to go away -- or are they going to increase it because the cost of living goes up for the "poor?"

A bunch of fun talking about but it isn't going to happen.

CUT spending don't give them a vacuum to -- "you'll know what the tax plan will be after it passes" opportunity.

SEAL the border.

Kill ObamaCare.

Get control of the over regulation, taxation and lawsuits on business and watch the money flow into the treasury as people get jobs and business come back.

What would make you think I think that?

I think that any massive tax reform is going to be horrendously hard to enact. However, I'm up for the challenge. What about you?

And you seem to be letting what you assume (emphasis) is politically possibly determine what you think is politically necessary.

That's not the case. Don't let process lead. First, evaluate the plan on its merits. Then determine what obstacles there are to enacting it and whether those obstacles can be overcome. Otherwise, you are being defeated by process before the process even begins.

To choose just one thing, how about the Earned Income Tax Credit?

What about it?

Under the 999 plan, as under every conservative major tax reform plan pushed in the last 20 years (such as the Fair Tax and the Flat Tax), the U.S. Tax Code goes away. Period. That is the point.

No more tax code. No more IRS. No more 50% people not paying taxes.

That is all.
