    And this tax plan. LOL...

    If you take the multi millionaire that makes $10 mil a year, who is paying 20% in income tax, that's $2 mil, then you make him pay 9%, which ends up being almost 1 mil. This guy probably works on wall street and lives in NYC, where sales tax is now 10%, after the 9.99 plan it's 9%. Another hefty break. Provided he spends half of his 8.1 mil on goods/taxable services, that's another $100k tax break. That's a $1.1+ million dollar tax break

    And the rich say they hate handouts. LOL.

    Now you take the kid who is getting paid just below the current tax bracket, let's say $4k. After the 9.99 plan, he gets taxed on 9%. That's almost $400. Since he's poor and lives in NY, he's probably going to spend most of the remainder on goods/services, so he saves $40 bucks. If he lives in GA, he'll pay an extra $120 in sales taxes.

    And the rich say they want to bring the bottom up. LOL

    This is what we call a regressive tax. Now if I could buy a house and a car and live comfortably off of 4 grand, I wouldn't really give a damn about this plan, but as the value of the dollar sits (as its plummeting anyway) this is impossible.

    Since you seem to have the numbers nailed down on the post below about the 9-9-9 plan, let's see your numbers on this.

    I love how the left preaches "fair share", but when someone proposes a tax that EVERYONE pays the same percent across the board, suddenly it's unfair. So what is it? EVERYONE pays, or the top pays for everyone?
