Actually this tells you how they will attack it- much in the same way Bachman and other have. That he said “27%” is the giveaway. They will attack it by saying that 999 hurts the poor, and it is inadequate, and because it is inadequate it will have to go up and hurt the poor even more.

Cain is not without retort, however.

Notice that Ron Paul is working on a new plan, similar to Ryan, to cut $1 Trillion in spending. This has to be Cain’s next move to win the GOP primary. He has to show that 999 raises the same amount of money that the current code does - but then he can show how we can actually cut the budget and use the surplus to pay down our debt - after which 999 will drop to 777 or even 555!

Yeah, because Congress has a long history of dumping tax programs - after all, once the Feds get enough money, they stop. Right?

WHAT are you smoking?
