...since it introduces new tax (sales) with no real protection of keeping it at 9%...

You mean like a 2/3 majority of Congress to change it?

“You mean like a 2/3 majority of Congress to change it? “

What the heck are you talking about? There is no 2/3 majority rule requirement, no matter what the law would say. Congress is not bound by existing law, it can simply rewrite existing law any way it likes.

I thought this is something people are taught by the time they enter third grade.

Only constitutional amendment would give you 2/3 majority rule protection, but Cain did not propose that.
