"...something has to be done..."

--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.

Still not sold on it, but if they got rid of national federal tax it would be more equal. We need to cut spending, agreed, but somewhere along the line it has to be a more fair system as well.

So far Cain looks like the most promising person to beat Obama. That is the priority now.
