Anyone know if Peter Morici has offered an opinion of Cain’s 9-9-9 plan?

Not sure what the point of this piece is. Even Warren Buffett, one of the top 400 folks in terms of earned income every year ends up paying about 9% in federal income tax. He would bump up to 20% under Perry's approach.

Does the writer imagine that Warren has secret income where he pays a higher rate and he's not telling us about it?

Shouldn’t we ban analyses by out of touch academics - who do not participate in the real world.

Look at that, Fox News giving time to someone taking down one of the non-Romney candidates.

Who’d have imagined it.

I personally believe that any tax plan that costs an individual tax payer more money is a tax increase.

In other words, if I was paying a total of X, and after the new plan I am paying, X+1 penny or more, then I have just experienced a tax increase.

I don’t care if it’s flat, fat, mat, or cat, if it’s nine or nine or pine or whine... if it’s MORE money out of my pocket, then it’s a tax increase.

Wake up America.

... it will spin the federal deficit permanently into the stratosphere...

WRONG.

It is federal SPENDING that has (already) sent the deficit into the stratosphere. You could collect ALL the income from ALL present taxpayers and it wouldn't balance the budget.

Rick Perry would be a disaster for America. That is what the true title SHOULD say.

Perry’s plan boils down to this. “If you like the current tax system, you can keep it. If you believe you will pay less with my system you can go with that.” Sounds like obamacare to me!!!! Hey, I have an idea: Why not just let people pay whatever they want! OMG has everyone lost their minds in this country?
