Putting a national sales tax into Nancy Pelosi’s hands is like handing a can of gasoline to an arsonist. The next thing you know Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan will morph into 19-19-19.

But it is OK to put federal income tax in Pelosi's hand? And it is OK to put death tax in Pelosi's hand? Also it is OK to put Social Security tax (already increased 23 times since inception) in Pelosi's hand? And how about putting capital gains tax in Pelosi's hand? And how about giving her free hand to suck my dividends which have already been taxed twice before I get the checks?

Amazing you are mainly worried about the sales tax, which is printed on every sales receipt as a percentage and total, but you are blase about all the other taxes I listed, none of which are printed as a percentage on your paycheck, or your dividend checks and are thus invisible to the masses.

No because if we can pass this it will be passed with the requirement that it needs 2/3’s to change the law to make it higher.I like the plan 9% is less than what is with held for us weekly.

And because ALL Americans will be TAXPAYERS, all those who voted for it can be assured of losing their jobs, and the proper rates restored.

THIS is the beauty of the 999 plan (or any national sales tax tied to the other taxes): it makes even low-income liberal voters into spending hawks.
