Ummm I don't mean to scare anyone, and I'm not an economist by any means, but I noticed if you flip 999 upside down, you get 666!!!

I didn't get any memos and I sure wasn't laughing, just driving the point home that other posters have already laid down -- his tax plan to save our nations economy has the numbers 999 in it. That was a very serious post about the fact that when you take the numbers from the namesake of this specious solution to our broken tax code and economy and flip them upside down, suddenly the numbers don't look so good.

It's simple math, and it's got to make some folks like myself start noticing that suddenly Black Walnut doesn't taste so good to some of us anymore.

They don't look good because they're upside down?

Starts out 9-9-9, then the wankers in DC get a hold of it, and it becomes the 30-30-30 plan.

Remember the current "graduated" income tax plan was "demanded" by the Socialist-Labor party in 1887, followed by the "populist" party in 1892, William Bryan was in charge of the Democrat party in 1907 when they made the current income tax system a major part of their platform... the original rate were 1% on the bottom, and 7% at the very top. - look how that turned out. So, you still thinking the 9-9-9 would stay there? You gotta be crazy if you think so.

its a good idea but like thescotsman said it will only go up after its applied if it happends of course they make it low to start then next year it goes up and up and up and will murder small business's and homeowner and everyone

The plan would cause low and middle class Americans who don't invest their income - use all of it for necessity due to housing, kids, schools, etc. - to be taxed twice. 9% when they get their wages, and then 9% again when they spend it.

Rich guys can spend only a portion of their paycheck (like one of the articles says, $100,000 out of $500,000), and then invest the rest, and only have taxed that 100k.

It's not that great of a plan. The sad part is, that it is an improvement over our current one to an extent.
