Except that it's not even close to 9%. It's 9% income, 9% sales, and 9% corporate. Of course that's just the start. With the new national sales tax in place, the Democrats will use that tool in the future to tax us to death. As Wilson presided over the income tax, will there be a President Cain who will be known as the one who started the national sales tax? No, I think the American people will rebel before we let that snake in the door! If we first chase out the income tax snake, then fine, but not both.
Why would the Democrats wait for a new sales tax? They can do what you complain about with the current tax code right now
Difference between now and 9-9-9 is EVERYONE is paying taxes under 9-9-9 so EVERYONE knows a tax hike effect THEM as well as everyone else.
Right now you can hide a tax hike by claiming it is “just a tax on business” or “making the rich pay their fair share”
Apply a bit of reasoning to what you're saying. Ask yourself: How hard is it for Congress to raise a transparent tax rate that affects everyone in the country equally?
Answer: Harder than you can imagine, and more difficult than they have the will to do.
