I'm the guy arguing against concurrent national sales and income tax.
Agreed...up to a point.
Cain has stated often that is transitional, in that it is simple and easily understood, and that is a step toward his goal...Fair Tax.
Fair Tax sounds scary at first, but understanding it makes it the solution for myriad problems associated with federalism.
But it requires a constitutional amendment to repeal the 16th, which takes time. 9-9-9 would only be in place until Fair Tax started.
Yup...it takes a leap of faith, a big one.
But one must assume that if Cain is elected, he will have the house AND senate in R control, along with considerable public sentiment with which to bludgeon the Maine sisters and their ilk.
