I think in the end your actually paying less if your paying a federal tax on wages.
Not to mention all the other taxes that would be gone if this was implemented.
Face it, something has to be done. One way or another, the current system is broken beyond repair. At least Cain has run a business knows what it is to work and what it is to shell out taxes.
Not to mention that this is not the only thing the guy has going for him.
At this point, though I do like others as well. I think Cain is the only viable candidate. We aren’t going to get someone that we agree with 100%, but he is darn close IMO.
--but in trying to do 'something', let's not do just do 'anything' because we must first do no harm.
The problem isn't taxes it's spending, and 2/3's of federal spending is 'human resources' AKA welfare, arts, NPR, etc. We can start with spending cuts followed by tax cuts. Cain's 9-9-9 would start with adding a 9% sales tax on top of an already record high tax burden.
There are a lot of good things about Cain but 9-9-9 isn't one of them.
