>> They do not realize that due to elimination of hidden taxes, prices would ease under the Cain plan
The plan is revenue neutral; net taxes will NOT be decreasing. They’ll merely be shifted around (adding in another huge entirely new revenue stream for Congress to play with).
Across the board price decreases are fantasy math, similar to the Congressional fantasy of promising spending cuts later if you give in to tax increases now.
The only way to justify that statement is to ignore the free market which inevitably lowers prices through competition.
The Laffer curve will come into play. 35% is probably well to the right of the Laffer peak. This 27% will open up doors for economic development.
