I understand since I'm in the same boat (except the liquor tax). Cain wants to remove most of those taxes you referenced. No more FICA tax, no more Medicare tax, no more gas taxes. He wants to replace it with a sales tax and income tax that everyone pays, not just some of us. And the elimination of the all the crony deals and reduction of the corporate and capital gains taxes would allow the free market to drive down prices far more than the 9% added sales tax. The progressive income tax we have now is an tool of redistribution. Cain's plan needs work and can't pass the way it's written. But it's far better than what we have. Gingrich has proposed a 15% flat tax. The countries that have gone to a flat tax have had amazing economic growth. Anyway, thanks for answering me. I appreciate the discussion.
9-9-9 is a double edged sword because when the libs get in power they will have a new tax to rob people with. A national sales tax. Under an Obama type president he would agitate to make “fairness” adjustments such as decreasing the sales tax part and jacking up the income tax 9 to 19 for the rich whoever they might be
