It is a non-starter.
Too many have too much invested in the current convoluted tax system. It is convoluted for a reason.
Simplifying the tax code is never going to happen.
Yes, it makes good sound bytes during election cycles and looks good on paper, but that is about the extent of it.

Sorry, Herman. Even if you did get elected, you would never get Congress to make that aggressive a change to the tax code or tax system.
All the more reason NOT to support a plan that calls for an additional tax. The Lord knows that the politicians will find a way to implement that part of Cain's plan.
