Cain the TALKER said that if he is elected President (LOL) he would have in the 9-9-9 bill something that Congress could not increase taxes as long as he is President (ROTFL), talk about total naivety.

The 9-9-9 tax plan is a political disaster. It imposes an mandatory federal 9% tax n individual income without any deduction on almost 50% of the people who pay no federal income tax after they file for all the deductions under the current tax system. Moreover and worst of all the 9% national sales tax is on everything including basic items such as food and cloth because there is no way that his disaster 9-9-9 tax plan can raise revenues similar to what we are getting now unless the 9% sales tax is on every item we purchase.

You realize most Americans pay a FICA tax of almost 7% with no deductions...
