I really do like Cain, but I have concerns about his 9-9-9 plan. My biggest concern is that it introduces yet another form of tax on the federal level that Congress can keep pushing up and up and up.

The national sales tax may be 9% when implemented, but how is Cain going to guarantee that it will stay there? He can't, of course, and that's my concern.

Can you guarantee that the current rates do not go up?
Also can you gaurantee that Congress doesn’t raise your current hidden taxes or install a new one? Remember the hidden taxes on goods and services you don’t see.

Yes, it introduces ONE new (very VISIBLE) tax, but it kills a dozen other (hidden) taxes.

Forcing Americans to actually see what the government is doing to them is a conservative dream!

It’ll be MUCH harder to raise a tax that *everybody* sees and *everybody* pays than it is to raise buried taxes that everybody pays, but aren’t aware of.
