I suppose if you subscribe to the viewpoint that the rich should pay less taxes, and the poor and middle-class should pay more taxes, then 9 9 9 is a fine plan. But, don't be disengenuous and deny that's not what it is, just because you know how unpalatable that is going to be to the roughly, mmmm, 84% who will have to pay more while the millionaires get to skate.
No response to the
shocking news that 999 is already undergoing revisions? Now that Cain and his silly simplistic plan, (which really seems to have been designed as nothing more than a campaign slogan that was easy to remember and catchy) are under the glare of the national spotlight, it's finally occurred to them that they just might have to actually defend the dang thing, and in it's current version, it's got huge problems because the numbers don't add up.
I suspect they are quite surprised that anybody took them seriously. Now that the obvious problems with the plan are being publicly touted, they have to change it. Sounds more like Rick Perry than Herman Cain. I guess he's learning.
