What stops Congress from doing that with the current Tax code? It actually gets harder to hike taxes under 9-9-9 since you cannot hid the tax hikes. Everyone pays so everyone knows any tax hike effects them.
It also eliminates Congress's basic source of corruption. The ability to tinker with the Federal tax codes to punish political enemies and reward political friends.
I hope you are right John. IMHO, I don’t see any relief for any taxpayer until our side controls all three branches and the forces of big welfare are silenced.
