People are not listening to Cain's statements. He wants to do away with the current tax code with its confusing exemptions and loopholes...not add this 999 tax plan to it. Thus, a person's tax payments will be reduced from what they pay now because feds will be getting 9% versus 12% or up. You will have more, not less of your hard earned money for purchasing things...food, clothing, etc

_______________________________________________________

I think that you are missing the point....

If 50% currently pay no income tax then any shift toward a 9-9-9 plan would automatically increase what they pay to 9% of what they spend. It will not fly.

Santorum nailed it last night...not a single hand raised.

btw...telling the average voter to go to a website to learn more about a tax plan will accomplish nothing. Cain either sells it in the face of the ridicule or he goes down with it.

I can see the obama ads now...

"To all you struggling out there to feed your kids, to pay the rent, to buy pampers for the baby...and who don't earn enough to pay income taxes...Herman Cain wants to add 9% to the cost of the food, the rent, the baby's diapers..."

That's right. Cain IS 9-9-9, and it's the one scenario where Obama can clearly win.
