I respectfully submit that you are fundamentally confused.
Government spending is one issue.
How we form our tax code is a totally separate issue.
You insist on mixing them. They are two different issues completely. We should reduce government spending and we should greatly simplify our tax code. YES. But the tax simplification plan is NOT THE GOVT SPENDING PLAN.

Agreed in that they are two separate issues. My point is that Cain is focusing much more on the tax issue than the spending issue - And he is wrong in doing so.
Runaway government spending is a FAR bigger problem than the current tax code.
