“Finally, Cain has also indicated that the sales tax is only on “new” items. Used item sales would be exempt.”
Could you show me that on his plan listed on his website? I don’t see it there.
I haven’t been to his website, just hearing what his supporters are saying the plan is. I have seen many of his supporters say that used items won’t be susceptible to the sales tax because the tax has already been paid on that item. So that isn’t true? So, then that will be a case of where it’s taxes upon taxes again.
I think a lot of Cain supporters are floating ideas that are not true - a lot of them are under a misconception that Cain’s plan is radically different than what we are paying now. It’s not - it just has a catchy name. I guess when people are drowning, they will grab onto anything with the hopes it will save them.

He stated it very directly and clearly in answer to questions at Tuesday’s debate.
It has been discussed all over the news ever since.
