Oh, I’m clear. I’m clear that you don’t understand that democrats can raise ANY tax by ANY name.
If there is NO national sales tax to raise, they’ll simply look for other taxes to raise.
So it’s a straw argument. While there would be “nothing preventing” the democrats from raising a national sales tax because it exists, there is NOTHING preventing the democrats from raising the income tax - BECAUSE IT EXISTS.
Don’t you get it? It’s six of one, half dozen of another! The argument you are making is a complete canard - a total straw argument.
What you fail to realize is that the tax code is so incredibly byzantine now that the democrats SNEAK tax increases in constantly. With a 9-9-9 plan and nothing else, they wouldn’t be able to sneak anything in. It would be clear as day. That way, changes can be properly resisted.
I’ll take clarity any day of the week over the ridiculous mess we have now. Don’t you see? That’s what Cain’s plan offers: clarity.
So not only is your argument a straw one, it’s actually counterintuitive. Under the current plan it is EASIER to quietly raise taxes. Under Cain’s plan, it isn’t as easy.
I haven’t seen ANY plan from any other candidate that proposes this kind of bold simplification of the tax code. And yet people like you call it a bad thing. It’s mind-numbing.
Excellent post.

All any other GOP Candidate would have to do is propose cutting the amount of tax code in HALF each year for their four year term and I would go for them over Cain.
BUT THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING!!!!!
You know why this is, because a simple tax code would take away all the loopholes people from BOTH parties have written into the code for their Political donors.
...but not a national sales tax which doesn't exist, and won't exist, unless Republicans are folish enough to support it.
Using your own line of reasoning, your own arguments are more “Straw” than Dr. White’s.
You support your opinion with the lie that it would somehow be more difficult to raise taxes under Cain’s plan, but the opposite is logically true: because there are more types of taxes, it would be way easier to raise taxes under Cain’s plan.
In addition, any kind of sales tax will drastically weaken America’s jobs engine: Small Business.
