The 999 most certainly has a personal income tax of 9% http://www.hermancain.com/999plan

I am going to the VAT wiki and see what the big deal is when freepers like you say it is so much different than a sales tax

Oh, how about a potential of hundreds of percent vs 9%.

I know that, but he would eliminate the progressive tax and during the second stage, when the fair tax would be implemented, the income tax would be gone for good. At least that is my understanding. He also wants to trash the hidden taxes we pay now. The 53% that pays taxes in this country work for the first four months of the year to pay off their taxes before they can spend any on their selves.
