"Wait til they start carving out exemptions and sending out prebates and other “offsets” so that the sales tax is “progressive.” And then there are the empowerment zones!"

Amen!

And how long before 9-9-9 becomes 10-10-10 and then 10-20-10?

Sounds like "fertilizer" to me.

What stops them from raising taxes today except THEY decide who pays and who doesn’t.
With 999 everyone has a dog in the hunt.
Now they would be AFFECTING everyone.

Now you would have 100% of the folks pissed.

Went to Walmart today and checked my receipt...look how high the local and state taxes are here..spent 58.76 and they added TAX 1 7.225% which added another 3.80 to the tab and TAX 2 which added another 25 cents...NOW do I want an additional 9% on top of that? hell no...my total came to 62.81. Just do the math and add the 9% onto the 58.76
