What I don't understand is where you see the "guarantee", as this plan is a temporary step toward a flat tax and is more designed to stimulate economic growth in the meantime.

You can't "guarantee" anything in politics. Cain does not know what the composition of Congress will be if he is elected POTUS.

However, his plan clearly states that 9-9-9 is a first step towards the Fair Tax. A Fair Tax is what conservatives have been dreaming for decades.

Cain also wants the Balanced Budget Amendment with this. This will limit gov't spending to a percentage of GDP. Cain also includes a provision that tax increases must be with a 2/3 majority while tax decreases can be done with a simple majority.

There is not one person who can look at 9-9-9 and say it is inferior to our current, corrupt, IRS-laden tax system.
