A talking head SUPPORTING 9-9-9 on Fox and Friends [Oct 17, 2011] said that it won't hurt the poor because they can be forgiven X amount on their consumption before the national sales tax kicks in. When queried further he said, that would be up to how Herman Cain wanted it structured -- that it could be made as progressive as you want it.

And what does that have to do with what Cain has proposed with his 999 plan?

He could also change his plan to either 000 or 99-99-99, but he certainly would not do it.

Your comments adds nothing to the discussion as it did not come from Mr. Cain or any of his staff, but probably a left-wing progressive talking head.

He was a supporter of the plan -- the other guy was not liking it so much.

Personally, I think Herman Cain is a central planner kind of guy. And if you can't see that "forgiving" the poor X amount on their consumption (and that can certainly go up and up) is a big hole in this plan...well... I can't help that.
