What is to prevent Congress from raising existing tax rates 20-30-50% right now?

The same political pressures that keep that from happening right now, apply even more so to the 9-9-9 plan

Since everyone pays the 9-9-9 tax it is impossible to demagogue raising it as “making the rich pay their fair share”. Everyone know raising 9-9-9 means they will pay more taxes.

Right now there is more ability to corruptly use the tax code for political ends then there would be under 9-9-9. So the same critical comments being made about 9-9-9 apply MUCH more to the current tax system..

So if 9-9-9 "will not work" based on the standards being applied to it, our current taxsystem is even more unworkable.

Great explanation.

That is why we need to discuss all of this.
