9% of income then 9% tax on what you buy =18%
Plus if you live in a state like Calif you have another 9% state sales tax.= 27%
Plus if it applies to things like gasoline you would have it on top of the federal gas tax.

State sales tax plus, Local sales tax plus, Federal sales tax would=18.25% for me almost a 10 % increase on everyday living right there.
Then if Corporations had to pay 9% they would add another 10% to the products that already cost me 18.25% more.
So we are at 28.25% increase for everything I buy, why would I vote for that?

So you saying the corporations are going to absorb that 9% tax and not pass that increase on to you?
Are you a corporation?
If you are its a great instant 1% increase in profits for you, because if I was corporation I would raise product 10% to cover new federal tax.
Its more forms more paper work someone needs to pay for that.
