999 Is 666 Upside Down

I repeated a phrase by Congresswoman Michelle Bachman in Monday night's debate that I thought was funny. Not only was it funny but somewhat true also. The people I was talking to obviously didn't agree. They started trying to explain how it was a play on words as if I didn't already know that. Somehow my point got lost in the muddle. Initially I thought the fair tax was a good idea but after deeper thought it's not fair or feasible. At first I was only thinking of a way to collect on the underground economy, but that would hurt the working man even more. It would hurt way more to take 9 out of 100 than 90 out of 1000 and etc. A flat tax would would have that same effect. Now I think that's pretty simple. In Herman Cain's plan. The devil is in the details. 999 is 666 upside down.
