..I am not going to throw Herman under the bus for this. I am excited and confident that Herman is at the very least an honest man....absolutely believing that the 999 plan is probably the best system that can be proposed right now.
I am also certain that Mr Cain would not veto something like the "fair tax" if it came across his desk. He knows the tyranny of an income based tax, and the freedom and prosperity that would be unleashed under a consumption tax.
Cain is for the fair tax. 999 is just a transition so we don’t have a high tax rate
