Yes, it would be better to eliminate the business taxes completely. Unfortunately that is not going to be politically feasible right now. You need a bridge from one system to the other.
9-9-9 eliminates things like the double taxation on capital gains and income as well as massively reducing Congress's power to play political games with the tax code. It also eliminates business's corrupting the political system by lobbying for favorable treatment
NO 9-9-9 is not perfect. It is only completely better then the existing system
for the Sake of clarity can we do some math on this 9-9-9 tax.
Farmer Sells 1000$ worth of cattle to Butcher. Is 9% added.
Butcher converts 1000$ worth of Cattle into 1500$ worth of Meat and sell to Grocer. is 9% added.
Grocer Sell 1500$ worth of Meat to Consumer for 2000%. Is 9% added.
OR in other words
1000$ of cattle at 9% tax is 90$ ?
1500$ of Meat at 9% tax is 135$ ?
2000$ of Groceries at 9% tax is 180$ ?
How much tax is collected. 405$ ??
