Cain's Ultimate Goal Is A Thirty Percent Sales Tax!!!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan may sound straightforward, but an analysis of the plan by former George W. Bush economic policy adviser Bruce Bartlett suggests it is anything but simple.

The Cain campaign has not released the nitty-gritty details of his plan, but according to his website, it is actually a three-step process. The 9-9-9 part of the plan is merely an intermediate second step in instituting a Fair Tax, which would replace all federal taxes with a 30 percent national sales tax

Why not just turn the poor and middle class into compost and get it over with.

2. The Media Need To Focus More On The 30% Than The 9-9-9

Could you imagine the black market that would create?

It would make Prohibition and the War On Drugs look like a cakewalk.

3. It would collapse the economy. And yeah, create a black market for almost everything.

I'm sure that internet purchases would also be subject to the tax--about the only loophole I can see for regular people would be to buy everything from Ebay and Craigslist.

7. The only predictable factor about a 30% sales tax would be a plethora of shoplifting.
