Plus Odonnel tried to say a 9% sales tax would be hard for the poor.....Many areas already have a 9% or higher sales tax. This interview was hard to watch, but Cain did a good job with it.

I like that part but what concerns me is the long term consequences of implementing the sales tax portion in addition to the income tax.

What happens 20-30 years from now when half the population of the next generation decides they want "change" and elects another democrat? If we decide to go the 9-9-9 route today are we potentially burdening our children/grandkids with another tax that future socialists will want to raise?

I personally would rather see us go to just a national consumption/sales tax at a higher rate and do away with taxing income.
