What I like best about the 9-9-9 plan is that everyone pays the tax, not just those in the upper 50%.

And even more important, these folks will FEEL the taxes they pay, instead of having them embedded in the cost of goods, or hidden as an “employer contribution.”

All the “good” things about the plan are reasons a majority of voters will never support it.

9-9-9 would be a great plan if the government was a pizza company, and Cain was running to be the CEO, where he could dictate his proposals and his subordinates would carry them out without question.

That may explain why Cain’s method of passing the 9-9-9 plan is to have the 12-member supercommittee “pass” it. Either he thinks the supercommittee gets to approve legislation, or he understands that the supercommittee makes recommendations that congress can’t change in any way.

Of course, that committee finishes it’s work next month. So Cain better get this proposal to them quick.
