If the 9-9-9 plan got a B-, then getting a B+ is not very impressive.

Eliminating deductions and credits in favor of lower marginal rates will yield a simpler and more efficient tax code,
decreasing the burden on taxpayers.
"Decreasing the burden" means less revenue. How is he going to balance the budget?

Capital gains and dividend taxes amount to a double-taxation on individuals who choose to invest. Because dollars invested
had to first be earned, they have already been subject to the income tax.
Total BS. The capital GAINS were never taxed, only the starting capital. Why should a speculator's income not be taxed like everyone else's?

Still, it is the least silly plan I have seen yet. Huntsman is the only one who seems to be taking this seriously.
