People really do not understand how much tax they currently pay. The average American actually pays 54% of their income in taxes. Usually a good has been taxed three to five times ( direct or indirectly) before it even reaches the end consumer. Add to this income, property and a host of others and the end result is astounding. For any of these new plans to work there has to be tons of cutting of government spending and jobs. When I see a 9/9/9/15 plan where the 15 is a percentage cut in spending per year I will begin to believe it has a snowballs chance in hell, from a financial standpoint at least.
