If it were a choice between higher taxes and something worse (systemic collapse, unemployment), then definitely yes.

Now turn it around. Cain is the only one talking about tax reform. None of the others is proposing anything that would stop the trend I just pointed out to you — that every year there are fewer and fewer of us paying for more and more who don’t.

The status quo guarantees that taxes will increase for we 53% who are paying it all now. So why should we 53% vote for any candidate who refused to fundamentally reform the tax system?

That's not true. Obama is talking about tax reform as well, with his raising taxes on those at the upper end of the economic spectrum. What both plans have in common is that they raise taxes and won't come anywhere near to delivering all the wild promises - 10% salary raises, falling prices, balanced budgets, millions of new jobs, whatever - that the men promoting it say they will. So what good is talking about tax reform when what you're shilling is basically unworkable and would probably cause more harm than good?

I think your percentage is a bit high but hey, you yourself said you would vote to raise your taxes under certain circumstances. Who knows, maybe most people will vote to have their taxes raised and sweep Cain into office. I just doubt that will happen.
