I'm with Michelle Bachmann: if you turn 9-9-9 upside down it's 6-6-6, and that's the devil's number! Cain's tax plan is Satan! SATAN!!!

*GASP* And his name is CAIN!!!

Things like this didn't present a problem for an officer. Officers had a tried and

Nothing like reinstituting the luxury tax.

That would actually work better (be less noticeable) if inverted.

For sure. I think home prices would be pretty bad the other way. I know home sales excluded but still there will be taxes on all the stuff to build the home.

I tink the whole point of the 9-9-9 is that it is made to be simple and across the board. And also to take a lot of power away from the IRS/Department of Treasury.

Those who want to tax the "rich" becuase they have more will never accept a non-progressive tax (as long as it progresses by taking more money from the wealthier)
