The Fair Tax would ultimately replace individual and corporate income taxes.

If I thought this would happen I would support it, but I don't. Once they have a sales and income tax, they will never get rid of either one. They only way to a fair tax is to repeal the other taxes at the same time. Cain's plan is the worst of both worlds.

As as been pointed out to you dozens of times, your same complaint applies even more so to the current system.

The same argument being placed here applies even more so to the current system. There is nothing to stop the current tax rates being hiked 20-50-80%

Every complaint being levied at the Cain plan is even more relevant to the current corrupt failed tax system.

Raising tax rates is actually harder under 9-9-9 since everyone pays so it is impossible to hide tax hikes as being only “on business” or “on the rich”

No tax system will ever be perfect. 9-9-9 elminated most of the current failed corrupt flaws in the current system while adding NO new flaws.

Arguing, as this author is, that we should cling to our current failed system because any replacement will not be absolutely perfect is childish and irrational
