...Shouldn’t be too hard to see how much Mr. Cain’s new tax costs me then. I’m really looking forward to paying an extra $5,850.00 on that brand new diesel dually pickup I need that I’ve been holding off buying for the last four years....
So with a reduced income tax and no SS and medicare taxes, maybe you will finally be able to afford it. What difference does it make if you pay 9+9+9=27 % or 6.2 +1.45 + 25%=32.65% ?
Will the price drop if the manufactures costs go down?

Thanks for making my point!
Don’t you see now?
This 9-9-9 is a part of the shell game. It’s touted as being revenue nuetral - but in reality, it will allow them to confiscate as much of your wealth as necessary to continue the charade PLUS whatever it takes to sustain the 15 trillion dollar deficit these same jerks have run up in the name of “benevolent” government. In our name!
So by buying into this, conservatives are distracted from the fact that the problem is a massive debt, out-of-control spending, massive regulation, unlimited worldwide military commitments and the only way out is reduction of the role of the Federal Government. Instead, we are reduced to arguing about how to change the tax code to best raise enough money to feed this monster.
