But SS and savings were already taxed once, 999 will tax it again.

---

If you’re on SS, then every dollar you’re receiving is taxation of some current earner. That earner will be paying sales tax when they purchase with their after-tax earnings.

What makes you so special that you shouldn’t pay a tax that those who support you are paying?

[Beagle8U]

If someone is getting SS now, they already paid taxes on it to support all those that came before them.

All their after tax savings have already been taxed. A national sales tax, like 999, is a total fail. DOA along with who it is tied to.
