Yes, but you see, those are facts! You can’t let facts get in the way of a good complaint!
I would support a government equal pain tax. You don’t know what you will pay at the end of the year. Everyone gets the cost of government split by income and no deductions. The poor get slammed like the productive and have to reevaluate how they vote.

Dang, my bad!
Gripe gripe gripe!
You’re getting a 3.6% Social Security increase in January — and the increase in the Medicare premium will only eat up about $19 of it.
lol
[I’m in the same boat. At least the Advantage plan co-pay doesn’t increase next year, but the Advantage plans may not even exist after 2012 — due to Obamacare.]
Some people really can’t understand something so basic as 9-9-9?
Doesn’t matter if you are on SS or a fixed income or whatever - the price of goods and services would drop dramatically.
Didn’t anyone take Economics 101?
From the look of the thread, everybody but the OP.
So, after 8 years of nothing, you come back to show your math skills are as strong as your spelling skills on the last post you made here:

And everyone else who pays nothing now.
Oh the huge manatee.
And it begins to pave the way towards disbanding the IRS.
Your food prices now include approximately 20% of hidden taxes that go away under the Cain plan then are replaced with one 9% tax. You’re saying you can’t afford a drop of 11% in your costs of food and everything else you buy?
SS is exempted from taxes under Cain’s plan. Why don’t you read the presented plan, which is still a working concept, before starting a thread based on ignorance. There is a lot of dis-information out there, and even here at FR, regarding Cain’s concept.
No were on Cain’s web site does it mention Social Security being not taxed.
Many people don’t understand it, unfortunately.
The Cain campaign needs to be a better job of detailing the various exemptions (such as for SSD), and explain how/why prices would drop as a result of 999.
And even still, many keep conceiving of 999 in the context of the current tax code, which 999 does away with. I know Cain has stressed this point repeatedly, but it’s apparently not being grasped.
Blah.
You may want to do a little more reading and research. The 999 plan will more than likely result in our paying less for food and other necessities than we do at the present time. Quite frankly 999 would be a Godsend to those of us who are past retirement age but still work.
Because many of us thunk that everyone needs skin in the game.
thunking is a coding word for inclusion. very good.
“WOMEN AND MINORITIES HIT HARDEST!!!”
What about the children? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN???
“My income cannot afford a 9% increase on my food budget”
Quit it wit all of that... Nobody can afford anything these days. How are you worse off than anybody else?
Good...if you paid a 9% income tax compare that you your usual % and figure the thousands saved.
