I am not being obtuse. I know exactly what the “ideal” 9-9-9 entails.
What I am saying is that the sales tax will be added but the other taxes not lowered. Do you understand? Cain’s plan is about “persuading” to lower the income tax.
Are you going to persuade Barney Frank? Harry Reid? Nancy Pelosi?
Give me a guarantee that the corporate will lower to 9%, that the personal income tax will lower to 9%, and that none of those taxes will ever be raised.
Prove they will never be raised with those people still in congress. Guarantee it.
And prove that Congress will have a 2/3 majority vote to repeal the 16th Amendment.
Last post as we will have to agree to disagree. Give me a guarantee that our current tax system, which sucks, isn’t going to go up. You can’t. How are you going to persuade Barney Frank, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi not to raise our taxes, add more burdens onto industry raising the cost of products, add more taxes onto gasoline(the list is endless). You aren’t.
Why are you saying that the sales tax will be added but the other taxes not lowered? That isn’t a 9-9-9 now is it. That’s just another tax. The plan, as I read it, was that the taxes would be at 9%. Nothing more and nothing less. Now you can claim that nothing else will be lowered and that Cain wants to raise taxes to 100%, but that isn’t what that particular plan is about.
Have a blessed day.
