Maybe he hates old people /sarc
Don’t sweat it. 999 is DOA and will never see the light of day.
WOMEN AND MINORITIES HIT HARDEST!!!
You’ll have to learn to like the cheaper cat food.
yeah, yeah...blather ..blather...exemptions can be made for food and such...give me a break.
Buy used food. No tax.
Err... Cain’s plan specifically exempts Social Security. I would suggest reading it instead of reading what people say about it. There is a lot of bad info out there, from saying it taxes SS (it doesn’t) to saying it is a VAT (it isn’t).
Allready paying far more than 9% in hidden taxes on your groceries... at every level of production.
The end result is you will see prices go down, and a little tag that says “price includes 9% fed sales tax”.
It makes the hidden taxes go away, and replaces them with a single lower ONE.
By the way, you are aware that your food prices already have built in over 30% in hidden taxes? 9% would be a major cut (assuming food is taxed in this plan, it is usually exempt in most sales tax programs).
9-9-9 is also a tax increase on those that want everything for free!
Time for everybody to pay their fair share!
And I do mean EVERYBODY!
Oh well, everyone needs to pay their "fair share".
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.
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.]
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.
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.
