Currently I am allowed to deduct my fuel and a per-diem according to IRS rules. Now the fuel part would be considered a business and something I need to purchase to eventually sell a necklace, lets say. But whereas, I currently can deduct meals and lodging, I dunno if that flys under this plan. Once again, perhaps its not contained in the bullet points.
Like I said above, opposite campaigns would have a field say picking apart something they either mis-read, or, something not in the bullet points. The campaign could get bogged down on these points. Either a finer document needs to be written to answer some of these many points—or a Ross Perot Flip Chart commerical needs to go on the air to explain how everyone is a king.
Now, those that pay no or very little tax will not want to use their government checks to pay any income tax, and they probably won’t. At least the fed sales tax part would pick up some of that slack.
Here is a link to a calculator for the 999 plan. Maybe this will help all concerned:
