There's a standard deduction, less taxes on all sorts of things, and budget cuts will have to be made. And not a single one of them look at the color of your skin, where you live, or even "the sound of your last name."
Starving the central, Federal government is a good thing.
For one thing, families could then use their own money to buy health insurance, if they want.
Herman Cain has already tweaked his 9-9-9 to be 9-0-9 for those who are at or below the poverty level.
He's also added that sales tax on food, which does not exist at this time.
And then there are the "empowerment zones," that his campaign has changed to "opportunity zones." Cain mad a point of saying this will help "African Americans" when he was in Detroit.
All of these, along with the immediate change of the tax codes, are complications, not simplifications, and will cost money to implement.
And then, there's the bailouts of some favored areas, like the inner cities, where the taxes would be lowered to 3-3-3.
"Because you have a lot of African-Americans located in cities like Detroit — disproportionately — it would encourage businesses to stay in business there or to move there," Cain told CNN. "It would encourage people to work there, because if you live in the empowerment zone, you're going to pay a smaller percentage in taxes."
I guess he forgot this guy:
A Bailout is a Bailout
