9-9-9: The key to GOP victory
The Hill ^ | January 11,2012 | Dick Morris

Posted on 01/16/2012 11:30:32 AM PST by Hojczyk

Cain is planning a new effort to promote his 9-9-9 plan now that his candidacy is over. It could not come at a better time for the Republican Party. (Those wishing to join should go to

cainconnection.com.) He is doing a bus tour and making the rounds on television shows to push his substantive agenda and, in the process, breathe enthusiasm back into Republican ranks.

The 9-9-9 plan will satisfy the libertarian impulse that underscores Paul’s appeal, particularly to the young. It will simplify the tax code so that it is a means of raising government revenue, not of promoting social engineering. Tax laws won’t tell us what to buy, where to invest and how to live. Instead, 9-9-9 will leave these decisions to each us.

It offers an agenda to repair the flaws in the economy that led to the stagnation of the late years of the last decade before Obama even arrived on the scene. It will make America a land of incredible business opportunity, luring innovators and job creators to the nation with what would then be the lowest maximum personal income tax rate on earth. The repeal of the capital gains tax would eliminate the barrier that stands between innovation and capital and would encourage the kind of explosion of economic growth that we need.

If Romney is to be the nominee, he needs a better message than his current reliance on his private-sector credentials and his desire to oust the current administration. His flat tax ideas have not ignited a wave of enthusiasm, nor will they. They are yesterday’s ideas. He needs 9-9-9. The Republican Party needs it. And America needs it as well.

You are correct in what was stated no matter who said it.

The ONLY way to get rid of the tax shelters, earned income credits and crap in the present system is to promote favors for the 50% who do not work and refuse to work!

However the leaches above do vote for the Commie democratic party so they can get more hand outs.

You think Ginger White is a light skinned Black woman ergo Cain must have screwed her? Sterling logic.
