“Only problem is your “article” is based on the propaganda from the Tax Policy Center a far far left wing propaganda outlet paid for by the Urban Institute and the Bookings Institute.”
That’s why as with all things, I proved it for myself. I’m sure that if TPC’s only motiviation was political, that they would want Herman Cain to prevail, because his nomination would destroy the GOP.
So in your opinion was their analysis of Perry’s or Gingrich’s plans on par, or just pulled out of a hat as well?
I’ve been involved in the fundamental tax reform movement for a couple of decades. The sine qua non for real reform has always been the complete elimination of income and corporate taxes. Of course, the Cain plan does not do that. It places a consumption tax on top of an income tax on top of a corporate tax.
A total political non-starter, all across the political spectrum.
Just as the Gingrich-Armey flat income tax proposals were always political non-starters.
And, I believe that to be intentional. We’re dealing with people who are looking for nothing more than campaign fodder, not real fixes to what is destroying our country, based in principle.
“...they would want Herman Cain to prevail, because his nomination would destroy the GOP.”
I want to see you back THAT specious claim.
I tend to think of a Cain nomination as a first step in *reforming* the GOP.
