That may be true, but you wont win many elections touting a tax plan that will raise taxes on the majority of voters.

Almost half of the population do not pay any Federal Income taxes now. Once that 50% tipping point is reached, or maybe even before, the Republic is LOST!

I’m curious about another tax. I have verizon - bundled with tv, computer and phone. Total taxes per month are approximately $24.50. Will the 9% be ADDED to this or do any of the taxes that total $24.50 be gone? How about gasoline taxes - isn’t it about .45 cents now?
