At some point, Cain must explain the potential economic benefits from his plan. The economy would receive a true jolt to growth from the drastically-lowered corporate tax rates. A sales tax will discourage consumption and encourage savings and investment (assuming Bernanke's gone).

As Victor Davis Hanson pointed out this morning, Cain is unflappable. But it isn't enough to constantly refer to his website, he must explain it, himself. Or, as we saw last night, the others will explain it for him -- in unflattering and, in some cases, dishonest terms.

Good point. Cain is a very humble man. He admitted as much in some radio interviews I heard, particularly with Dennis Miller who endorsed Cain. So few know that his background is so much more than a Pizza executive. I think that should be passed on to the Cain Campaign as constructive criticism, and I am sure he would accept it and modify and strengthen that aspect of his delivery.

I agree. Look, I really like this guy, but telling those he is debating and potential voters over and over again to go to his website to get the specifics on his plan is simply not going to cut it... He has to explain it, in all it's ramifications, otherwise it just ends up looking like a think tank proposal. it's his job to explain it so the "folks" can understand why a sales tax is a good idea, in conjunction of course with a 9 % income tax and a 9 % corp tax...

In California, we pay about 9.0 % sales tax, which is our legislatures fault and a constant irritation for me, but add on another 9% and I'm looking at almost 20% tax on every darn thing I buy in this state... that is crushing.. I guess I could move, but work is not exactly in abundance in many of the states.
