I am against the 9-9-9 plan, but his site has now stated that it’s to be used as a transition to the FairTax. As I understand it the idea is to incrementally cross over to the FairTax, (part national sales tax, part income tax, then only sales tax). I disagree with the 9-9-9 plan, but support Cain. He said he was trying to unite FairTaxers and Flat Taxers (it will not), and I think he got flack for it, and has now decided to move back to the FairTax (When the 9-9-9 site first came out, it had no mention of the transition to the FairTax—Phase 2—my guess is that the 9-9-9 was decried and he re-evaluated that position, or possibly he had the idea the whole time).

I still like Cain, but that doesn’t mean I agree with every idea his campain (or just him, for that matter) puts forward.

Most of us at F.R. agree that we need a different tax plan but most everybody disagrees on how to do it. That may be true of the general population of people who actually pay taxes as well. Factor in that 47% that are net tax takers as well and are happy with the system as is and you will have a huge problem getting any part of the tax system changed whatsoever.
