No thanks!

We don't need a national retail tax.

He is obviously not a shrewd business man. He should know better. I'd expect the Huckster to not understand this because he really never WORKED for it. As a minister and then as governor, he doesn't understand. Cain should know better. A national tax will hurt those with the LEAST MORE than those with the most. Those with the LEAST are the ones that will be buying MORE. Those with the MOST, won't feel it.

He might as well favor a VAT tax.

I want a FLAT tax where all suffer accordingly.

He is against the VAT and wrote an article on it recently (it’s probably on his web site).

They are not the same.

And he is nowhere near Huckabee in general, who is not a fiscal conservative.

A National Retail Tax is FAIR. That way, everyone pays their fair share. I taught High School and I had kids whose families were 4th Generation Welfare Recipients. They paid no income tax but their kids wore Michael Jordan $135 tennis shoes and Oakland Raiders Jackets and always had money for weed. YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU GET A CHECK FROM THE GOVERNMENT EVERY MONTH, PAY NO INCOME TAX, GET FREE MEDICAL, FREE DENTAL, FREE OPTICAL, FREE COLLEGE TUITION AND FOOD STAMPS......

Come on nmh, I suspect you and I are Christian people. Please don't make me cuss. The "Fair Tax" is the only fair tax.
