It's endlessly silly at the debates. Bachmann's 999/666 segment and full video

Bachmann's 999 -666  segment:

The interesting thing is that Bachmann (with great gravitas right up to her silliness) is against a regressive sales tax by default, that is, if it is a tax, it is an enemy. So, even taxes that would favor her party and their wealthy patrons are really revenue stream thingies that are evil. It's a "gateway" tax, sort of, that will lead to a value added tax (VAT). Well, thankfully she is against taxing the poor to give it to the rich for whatever reason even if it's just because the numbers are kinda odd upside down. :)
