The problem with 9-9-9 is that the politicians are not going to keep those numbers at 9 for long. Herman is adding a new tax, and inevitably, they will all increase. Reagan fell for the Democrats’ promises when he accepted the elimination various deductions in exchange for lower rates. Well, didn’t stay lower, and the deductions were not restored.

TEXAS WINS THE KEWPIE DOLL !
Reagan cut the top individual tax rate to 28%. The scumbag politicians and libs eventually raised it to 39%. Cutting taxes at any given time does not preclude the future criminal politicians from raising them back!
That's an easy to debunk argument.
Obama still has not successfully raised the income tax, instead he extended Bush tax cuts. He had two years with the supermajority to do it where Republicans couldnt stop it.
The federal gas tax has not been raised in 18 years since Clinton did 1993.
Democrats did start taxing lots of new things never taxed before in Obama-care.
Democrats will still want the same taxes they do no raised regardless of any new tax replacing the old. So the above is NOT a valid reason to improve our system taxing consumption instead of production.
