I want the FairTax. I have wanted the FairTax for more than a decade.

I wish Cain would emphasize that 999 is a transition to the FairTax. Many, many people understand and support that one.

[Huck]

He started out this campaign pitching the fair tax, but ditched it for 9-9-9, which tells me he knows the fair tax would be even harder to sell. Much easier to sell the unrealistic 9-9-9 then to try selling a 30% consumption tax.

Try telling seniors, who vote, and who have already been taxed on their earnings, their savings, and their investments, that now the "conservatives" are going to make them pony up another 30%! Yeah, that'll fly /s
