A national sales tax will create a vast black market economy.A VAT allows no evasion and a VAT can be constructed the way cigarette and alcohol taxes are.One time at factory of origin or port of entry.

But I'm opposed to Mr. Cain not his tax plan.He has zero world experience and has demonstrated little knowledge or grasp in the debates. We already have a POTUS incapable of responding to the 3AM phone call, and we've decried his lack of knowledge.We should not back Mr. Cain just because he's a conservative with business experience.

When asked if future congresses could bring back the “progressive” income tax on top of his other taxes, Cain sad no, but did not explain why they can’t do that.

No it will not. You got it exactly backwards. Our current system has created a massive shadow economy where millions do work "off the books". A national sale tax eliminates that.

It is not a VAT. It is completely different then a VAT. A VAT taxes every level of production. The 9-9-9 only TAXES IT AT THE FINAL POINT OF SALE.

I sorry but to say that indicates you have not bothered to listen to a word he has said nor take a look at his proposals. Other then GB 1, Cain has just as much "Foreign Policy Experience" as any of our Presidents since Ford. So come up with another attack line cause that one, like the rest of your post, is complete devoid of any rational merit.
