“Art, how do you prevent the 9-9-9 from turning into 27-27-27?”

God I’m sick of this straw argument.

How do you prevent the current income tax from being raised?

The 9-9-9 plan has two advantages over the current tax code when it comes to raising taxes:

1) It has a built in 2/3 vote to raise it.
2) It’s plainly visible. The current tax code let’s politicians bury their hikes in mountains of exemptions, rebates, and crap. 9-9-9 is so straightforward that it will be plain to everyone when the dems are trying to raise taxes.

[Dr. White]

The rate of the national sales tax can't be raised now because there isn't a national sales tax now.

If Herman Cain gets his 9-9-9 plan through, there will be, and then it can be raised.

That's the danger.

Clear?

That is a pile of pure excrement.

The only way to require any 2/3 vote in congress is a constitutional ammendment.

It ain’t going to happen.
