Everyone is forgetting another thing.
Cain also advocates the Chilean model of social security. That means, yes you won’t pay any payroll taxes *BUT* you would be contributing 10-20% each month to a retirement fund instead.
First off - the SS model Cain talks about is OPTIONAL.
Cain is not lumping fixing SS in with 999. That is a completely different plan.
SS will still be funded under the plan, the base is bigger which is why payroll taxes can be eliminated. Kind of like how you save when you buy in bulk.
So, basically, Cain’s campaign message is that he believes in government fixes for everything. I don’t see a difference between his approach and the liberals’. It seems he is taking us far afield from the actual role of a POTUS.
