I’m not passing judgement, good or bad on the 9-9-9 plan...but I know this. It won’t sell during the general election, and it will be a detriment to Cain (whom I think would make a good candidate, if it wasn’t for this one plan.)
When the MSM start milking the fact that the “poor”...who haven’t paid any taxes in “forever” (in fact they’ve gotten checks back from the gov’t when they paid nothing in due to credits)...will have to pay 9 percent sales tax on top of the state sales tax, which in our state is 7 percent...on the purchase of food, and medicine, and “necessities”...their cries and fear mongering will be heralded from the roof tops and Cain won’t be able to sell his plan to the general public.
Of course it will affect the women and children most, not to mention the disabled and elderly. /sarc And people will believe it and reject Cain. Now that’s just MHO, but I think it’s pretty accurate as to what will happen.
Selling 9 9 9 to the conservatives, that’s one thing, selling it to the independents...big problem.
So instead we should not fight for what is right but instead preemptive surrender because the Leftist media will attack us.
And then Conservatives wonder why they never ever win any policy issue.
Hate to burst your bubble, they are going to attack who EVER the GOP nominee is, preemptive surrendering to their demagoguery will not “save” you from it.
I agree with you. But this is our last chance to do this. Should we lose this election, the ability to turn it around rapidly diminishes due to the large number of free-loaders who can vote. We will then swirl down the toilet into the cesspool like so many other countries.
