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.
