I haven’t made up my mind about 9-9-9, but I don’t see anything that keeps our current rates from going up either.

I keep seeing people post this stupidity, here’s a clue:

The thing keeping them from raising the national sales tax rate right now is:

THERE IS NO NATIONAL SALES TAX!!!!!!

You’re right: there is no national sales tax. Directly.

Instead we have a 35% corporate tax rate which gets built into the price of every product we buy, plus tax code compliance costs which also get built in.

The current system is a HIDDEN sales tax.

So you prefer taxes that are instead hidden and make it look like businesses are responsible for them?
