“I think Cain is the best candidate but this 999/909 plan and opportunity zone nonsense is pathetic crap.”
I agree with you. I like Cain (I like lots of people), but I HATE 9-9-9. He unequivocally stated that the 9-9-9 was an attempt to unite FairTaxers with Flat Taxers. The only thing it unites is what both diametrically oppose into one, and will not work (Which is why about a month after coming up with 9-9-9, he made Phase 2 of 9-9-9 the FairTax, which he originally supported as stated in the first debate, pre-9-9-9). Not a single person running is perfect, and I encourage you to vote for whoever you think would be best for president.
Don’t get caught up with the “Pick your pony-strap on your blinders” crowd. I don’t like their leftists tactics when they support a candidate I don’t like, and I certainly don’t like it when they use those same tactics to support a candidate I DO like. But you need to seriously rethink your position on a flat income tax, because any and all taxes on labor are a part of the problem, not the solution.
When we trim the fedgov enough, we won’t need any direct taxes at all.
