I’m not sure what you’re referring to, but the point of the national sales tax is that everyone will pay it.

Sure, they may eventually exempt a basket of basic goods from the tax (many states do this with their sales taxes, or they tax a list of “necessities” at a lower rate).

But anyone who buys stuff will be paying Fedzilla taxes.

I'm not sure what you're referring to but from Cain's own website his "2nd phase" is instituting the Fairtax plan.

The Fairtax plan calls its plan "progressive". They have a chart in their FAQ showing MORE negative taxes paid out than under the current income tax.

Also, nothing (except education) is exempt from the tax under the Fairtax plan...

If you're going to support Cain's plan I suggest you do a lot more studying before continuing to misrepresent it.
