Right on. 999 is infinitely better than the Perry Flat Tax.

So the author concluded as well, interestingly enough.

Also found this observation of his interesting:

Accordingly, what the electorate is listening for right now is the candidates’ level of commitment to major pro-growth economic policy reforms, and a sense of how they view the world and make decisions. The voters are not particularly concerned about the details of any particular plan, because they know that the plans being offered on the campaign trail are not what will emerge from Congress.

He goes on to make once criticism of how Cain is selling his plan presently, but says 999 is the fastest, biggest way to juice the economy.

Of course, I also like 999 because, unlike the Perry plan, it broadens the tax base, which is extremely critical at this point in history if we are to preserve our freedom.

I agree and I think the 9% national sales tax that replaces payroll taxes is a stroke of genious because it takes in money from those who hide under the tax-radar now. The only argument against it is future congresses will raise it but all I’ve got to say about that is congress will raise what we have now so what’s the problem? If we bring spending under control, cut back the size of government there will be NO NEED for any increases. Our economy would boom under Cain and I believe that congress might actually need to CUT the rate!!!!! I know, I’m dreaming there but it should happen.
