I’m sorry, I don’t normally respond to people acting like vapid idiots, so here’s the direct site for you:

“•Individual Flat Tax – 9%.
•Gross income less charitable deductions.
•Empowerment Zones will offer additional deductions for those living and/or working in the zone.
•National Sales Tax – 9%.
•This gets the Fair Tax off the sidelines and into the game.”
Hermain Cain is for AN INCOME TAX AND A NATIONAL SALES TAX did HE say that loud enough for you, or are you to stupid to listen?
Apparently you are TOO .....ahem....impatient to read any futher (I don't generally like to use the word stupid for fellow Freepers, third grade spelling/grammar errors aside).......right below that statement on Cain's website is the following.....
Phase 2 – The Fair Tax * Amidst a backdrop of the economic boom created by the Phase 1 Enhanced Plan, I will begin the process of educating the American people on the benefits of continuing the next step to the Fair Tax.
After scraping the current tax system he sets up a national income tax of 9%. You now pay what out of your current income? Then, only on things you purchase you pay 9%. That is only on things you actually purchase. Figure it out, at most you would only pay 18% if you spent every dime you make on things you purchase. That doesn’t exclude things like your house. Have you looked at the current rates?
