I think Cain said that to raise the tax it would have to be a 2/3 vote - difficult - and it would be out in the open so the people would know about the proposed hike before they passed it “so you can see what’s in it.”
I like the plan because it severely restricts lobbyists and gets rid of the social engineering built into the tax code and mostly because ENDS the cronyism “carve outs” for their political donors and friends.
I can’t afford an alpaca to be able to get the tax break for raising alpacas!
A tax which is shared by EVERYONE is much more difficult to raise then taxes paid by only half of the citizens.
