The establishments of both Parties hate the Cain 9-9-9 plan so it must be a great program and it is.

The bear through the barleycorn.

Problem is, do Americans still wish to be free?

Will a federal/national sales tax require a Constitutional Amendment since the Fed gubmint can’t tax in this manner? I like Herman on many levels, but the 9-9-9 plan needs further exploration and explanation. It sounds simple, but it also unwinds many complex taxes which often get lost in the sound bites.

The expensing of investments would allow companies to buy new machinery and automobiles that would be taken off their profits and lowering their taxes.

Only if that machinery and those automobiles were built in America. And one of the things Cain's plan takes away from corporations is the ability to treat labor costs as an expense, except for labor in 'Opportunity Zones'. That will increase the taxable income for virtually all companies and cause their income taxes to go up. Way up.

The 9-9-9 plan is a poorly thought out, unworkable mess.

“Herman Cain and now Rick Perry have made bold steps towards the reformation or removal of the IRS.”

Rick Perry’s plan keeps the IRS and creates a new, optional, flat tax. Call it it the Buffet tax, designed specifically for those who think they are not paying enough.

As long as you are making equations...

999-333=666

The devil is always in the details.

Federal tax: 9+9+9 = Freedom?

Plus another

State tax: 9+9+9 = confiscation

In addition to hidden taxes levied against everything you purchase.

I prefer, #1 Boortz’s Fair Tax, #2 Perry’s Flat Tax and then maybe Cain’s 9-9-9

The Plan was meant to be a starting point—it did not have to be carved in stone as it was..and when Bachman made a joke with the 6-6-6 comment, I lost respect for her at that very moment; and Bachman was as capable in being president as anyone in the line up...Until we start fighting Obama and not each other [as we have enough reported corruption to draw from], President Hope will get away with all the deceptive tricks he continues to pull out of Biden’s plugs.
