The current income tax system started out as a 2% tax on income over $4000, which is about $110,000 adjusted for inflation.

2%.

I don't know about you, but I'd like to be able to keep the difference between what I would have paid under the original plan, and what I pay now.

You assert that common sense and voters would have prevented this tax inflation. There's just one flaw in your logic: You leave out the part where people who don't pay taxes get to vote anyway. Those people are becoming increasingly common, so when they use their sense in deciding how to vote, I guess you could call it common sense, which is not so fortunate for the increasingly less common voter who does pay taxes.

1) Indeed I might pay more, but if less of the GDP and corporate bottom line needs to be spent on taxes and compliance, I’ll make up the difference in more jobs and more pay.

2) The glorious part of 9-9-9 (correct me if I’m wrong) is that illegals, and welfare recipients pay national sales tax going forward, and the 9% national income tax means all kinds of people not paying now would pay, right?
