Where does 'fair' enter into it? If the Democrats say that they want to raise your taxes in order to be 'fair' would you cheerfully go along with it? So then why should the majority of the people who will see their taxes go up under the Cain plan go along with it because you think it's 'fair' that their taxes be doubled?
Is that the best you can do? The people who actually pay (net) taxes right now are a minority of the population. So, I’m assuming that’s OK with you so long as you are on the “getting” end and not the “giving” end. Yes, a fair tax system would see everybody pay an equal percentage of their income in tax; there would be no double taxation of dividends or capital gains; corporate income tax would be abolished as well as property taxes on the local level. The 16th amendment would be repealed and a national sales tax put in place.
