Most Freepers, I’d say, aren’t against a sales tax. We are against 2 sales taxes, in other words, double taxation for the same product.
And that’s what Cain’s national sales tax would be, double taxation. One state sales tax... and then another national one; all on the same product.
Not to even mention how what may start as 9% can change when a new party is in power. Just look at our federal income tax; it started out as just 3%... and during WWII it hit up to 94%. If it had never been introduced, it could not have been adjusted up to that insane rate.

We’re paying more than 9% in federal taxes on items now. But it’s hidden and buried in the retail price.
Most of the objections to the 9% sales tax is that people don’t want to *see* their taxes. As long as they’re hidden, they’re comfortable. As soon as there’s a prospect of actually seeing 9% on a receipt, they’re having a fit.
You’re being double and triple taxed now. Wouldn’t it be nice to have it out in the light?

A weird thing happened a little earlier on Free Republic. There was a thread about Cains 9-9-9 plan and the fact that its being attacked by some. There were quite a few posts, all supporting the plan and Cain. Not one Perry supporter jumped on that thread to trash Cain.
But only 3 or 4 posts deep on any Perry thread, here come the Perry/Romney vultures, bringing up the same old worthless issues.
Bears repeating!
