Yes, I just posted in another thread, Cain used to support the Flat Tax, and Forbes ran on a Flat Tax ticket. When Fair Tax came out, Cain felt it was a better option and became a very outspoken proponent of Fair Tax.
Cain’s plan is a hybrid Flat tax and Fair tax which transitions to the Fair Tax.
Steve Forbes praised Herman Cain in his interview today.
All of which proves that any talk that Cain is a johnny-come-lately, make-it-up-on-the-fly, back-of-the-napkin guy on tax reform nonsense.
Cain has been committed to major tax reform for many years. It’s not surprising his thinking has evolved. Just shows he’s continued to put a lot of thought into it.
I have not seen any threads debating Perry’s plan, but would like to.
