my MIL is on SS, she is old, she cannot afford half of her meds, and can only buy enough food for two meals a day.
She has no car, no luxuries like eating a chocolate bar, she cries her eyes out when she can’t give her grandkids a present at Christmas and birthdays.
Now she will have a 9% tax on her.
Aye that is not going to go well in the election and the left are going to crucify him for this and what is to stop the left raising this 999 to 30, 30 , 30 in the future.
Cain is better than Romney by far but he better get this tax plan sorted out than just saying 9,9,9
That plan will not go to well with people down here in FL and the older poorer folks in the south
We know how the left will swing this
the rich see their taxes go down by over half while those living on SS and have no money left over and have no nothing to enjoy but live like hermits now see an increase in their food, medication, clothing bill.
More than that. She'll have her Social Security taxed at 9% as income. And an additional 9% on all her purchases. Should they send her a "Cain for President" sign now or later?
“my MIL is on SS, she is old, she cannot afford half of her meds, and can only buy enough food for two meals a day.”
My mother is on SS.
It sure would be nice if my husband and I were doing better and could afford to help her out more.
Oh wait. That’s family taking care of family and it’s the gov’t job to take care of my mother. I forgot for a moment.

yes.
liberals will accuse Cain of wanting seniors and minorities to eat cat food...
but, the company pays 31% less in taxes.
honest business, unlike Obama lackeys like GE,
will pass most of that on to reducing prices.
granny pays 9% more. but NET, is about 22% LESS.
Cain has a Math Degree. And a Computer Science Masters.
but 31-9=22 is simple enough even for me to understand.
and again, 999 is just to “begin the process of educating the American people on the benefits of continuing the next step to the Fair Tax.”
and DTogo in post #21 makes GREAT points, i didn’t know about.

And consider how much better off she will be with the checks continuing to come under a business-friendly tax plan than if the system goes bankrupt.
Also, I’ll be glad to count on her vote for politicians who promise not to raise the tax rate.
This is my tax bracket and I can’t afford these things either.
What’s going to happen to your MIL when SS goes bust?
What are your spouse and any other children she may have doing to help the MIL?
