Also think about what a 9% National Sales Tax means to seniors on small fixed incomes that currently pay no Income Taxes right now.

Give those seniors a sales tax rebate option.

Seniors are currently the wealthiest segment of the population. We can come up with ways to protect the low-end outliers in that demographic.

I have my own concerns with a Federal sales tax. But at least Cain is putting out a plan to be analyzed.

Not anymore. Those with money are dying off. The rest took huge hits in the stock market and low interest rates.
I know seniors who are now trying to live on $600 per month.
