I like Cain but I know his 9-9-9 plan will never get through Congress, though I appreciate him bringing the whole problem up for discussion and making people think about it for a change. I'm tired of Republicans paying lip service to fixing it and never offering any real solutions. Even Democrats say they are going to close loopholes and corporate welfare, but they never do. Cain has the testicular fortitude to stand up and say “our system is broken and here's how I'd fix it.”
So what would Huck propose to fund the government, spur the economy and stop the crony tax codes we have now? If you've proposed something or supported something I must have missed it.
No only what you say, but the argument against Cain’s 9-9-9 plan because Congress would simply increase the percentages in later years is also specious. As you point out we now have a progressive tax system that can be changed a the will of Congress. IOW we have that now. At least Cain’s plan brings in all Americans into the system. And that’s a very good starting point for any overhaul of the system.
The point is, Cain is at least willing to propose a plan so the issue can be discussed as it should be. It’s a starting point. And the fact no one else in the running has dared present a plan shows his leadership qualities excel. But, there will always be nay-sayers because that’s all they know what to do with a half-filled glass. Their input is worthless because the spew agenda instead of ideas.
