Can someone explain to me how current progressive tax rates of 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35 does NOT become 15, 20, 30, 33, 38, 40 in the next congress, or then 20, 25, 35, 38, 43, 45 under the next D admin?
When you can answer that question, then I'll take your question about Cain's plan seriously.
The rates under Cain's plan are no more likely to go up than they are under any other tax plan. In truth, the rates under Cain's plan are less likely to to up because (1) they are are more transpararent, and (2) they affect everyone equally, so you no longer have the class warfare calls to raise taxes on the rich.
If the tax burden shifts from the wealthy towards the poor, we'll have those louder than ever.
