Yes, Cain did and yes, it’s time to consider it. But don’t enact it before elected like Zerocare was.
It’s time for the States to argue the income tax and let the people decide the manner, not for the Executive to take extra-constitutional stabs at it.
Start taking away the earned income credits right now, and the freeloaders will balk at losing 30-40% of their income and show up to vote against it. Outline a general plan, but don’t let the rats believe it’s imminent.
Well, first I don’t support 999 because I don’t want a consumption tax. But I do give Cain credit for putting the idea out there and talking about serious issues like large scale tax reform.
I am all for ending the earned income tax credits. It is nothing but transfer payments and I completely oppose them.
