The 9% apple tax also eliminates the 15% payroll tax, the 15% Capital Gains tax, the 45% Death Tax, reduces the 35% Corporate tax to 9%, and will promote so much financial activity that the unemployment rate will be reduced from 9% to 4%, so you will be able so spend an extra 9 cents for your apple.
Look at the whole picture, not just the tax on your apple {or buy a half eaten apple, there is no tax on used goods}.
After they file for all the deductions and the minimum earned tax credit almost 50% of the population pays no federal taxes under the current tax code but under Cain the TALKER 9-9-9 tax plan they would be paying 9% tax on their income and without any allowed deduction plus another 9% on almost everything they purchase including the basics such as food and clothing.
