Exactly. I am convinced that I would personally pay less taxes with 9-9-9.
My semi-monthly paycheck would be $270 higher. The sales tax would not eat that up as I buy very little. Granted, I wouldn’t be getting that $2,000 refund check every February, but I’d rather have the extra $540 per month. in cash to either put away or expand my family (almost enough to put another kid in daycare).
