What could possibly prevent 9-9-9 from becoming 12-12-12, then 16-16-16 as congress gets to tool with it over the years?
Art, how do you prevent the 9-9-9 from turning into 27-27-27?
When I was in High School, I ate a whole medium Goldfather’s “supreme” pizza by myself.
I never liked huntsman but I lost some respect for Ms bachman with the upside down 999. Many who support Cain are God fearing country loving people. To bring up 666 against Cain was really ugly.
The ballot box.
Next step is to repeal the 17th Amendment.
How do you prevent anything from being passed?
Pinganator!

Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan Gets a Closer Look
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2791905/posts
Kevin Hassett, an economist and senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, praised Cain’s plan as moving toward a flat tax.
“If someone’s going to attack the 9-9-9 plan I would say they should be careful because you are talking about the Republican holy grail,” Hassett said,
The plan, Hassett said, hews to the conservative orthodoxy of “taxing consumption rather than success.”

So, as much as I like consumption taxes in principle, this is one proposal where the devil is truly in the details and Mr. Cain should be very clear about what he proposes to make this both workable, just, and minimally intrusive.
TPPF recently installed Art Laffer as a Sr. Fellow.
What is stopping them now? Nothing.
The 999 has more built-in limitations than the current tax system:
It is transparent, so everyone will see what Congress is trying to do if they try to raise rates.
Because everyone is paying, if they try to raise the rates, there will be public outcry. The very though of raising taxes on the poor is like a built in boobytrap.
Cain will ask Congress to put in 2/3 majorit rules to keep from changing rates - if they will is another question. It has been done, historically.
Looking for a guarantee on promises? Talk to God. You won’t find it in human politics.
Because 100% of the people are now PAYING THE DAMN TAX.
Have You seen what happens when welfare checks don’t go out in time.
Also it would required two thirds vote not just majority.

How do you prevent democrats from stealing all your money?
I honestly can think of nothing worse that could be done to worsen the housing crisis.
I haven't made up my mind about 9-9-9, but I don't see anything that keeps our current rates from going up either. Right now, we have tinkering in the background with brackets and such.
You.
Tip of the day: don't vote for Obama.
