No? Shocks the hell out of me.
Earth to Clarity: a 9% sales tax is a good thing. It means everybody has a stake in government spending. More than that invites a black market.
Bad policy! Americans are taxed to death as it is. Conservatives want to see serious tax reform, but we don't want or need a national sales tax. That opens up a Pandora's box. Cain's plan is unrealistic and frankly, dumb. Whose to say that once the Dems regain power they change 9-9-9, to 12-12-12, or 15-15-15 or 18-18-18! No thanks. Besides, Cain came up with his 999 tax plan for one reason. To grab attention. It will never be taken seriously.
