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.

The 999 plan will not hold up under the intense scrutiny it is going to get.

The whole ‘plan’ looks like something jotted down on a ‘cocktail napkin’ after several jiggers of Scotch.

Not well thought out and not ready for prime time.

That's an interesting conclusion. Could you elaborate on it a little? How is the 999 plan essentially no different from the present system of taxation?

Thanks.
