The 999 is a 1-2 year bridge to the Fair Tax which abolishes the IRS/16th amendment.
Yes, the 999 plan may have issues, but what’s important is that we are talking about nixing the current system. We have been needing a candidate who will not back down from a plan to fundamentally change the terrible tax code we now suffer from. Flat tax, Fair Tax, 999 Plan...what matters is to bring to the attention of the country the fact that we CAN change this code. It is not written in stone somewhere.
Even a Fair Tax has to be collected by some agency.
