Yawn.
So Congress can't raise taxes under our current system?
And we don't currently have Sales Tax "in force at the same time" as Income Tax in all but five states? (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon)
This is a tired argument.
Cain's plan isn't the best option, but he put something on the table and forced the other candidates to come up with a proposal. If people want to gripe about Cain's ideas, they should jump to the end result, which is the Flat Tax. 9-9-9 is a transition plan. (And in my mind, why bother with that... just get right to the end game.) So if people have a better idea, throw it out there. Because if we don't start talking about it now, it will never get changed/fixed.
Yes - if the pensions were not stopped ASAP.
How many working people get such a generous pension after only 2, 4, 6, or 8 years on the job?
Term limits can be implemented and elected officials must make their own contributions to a 401K or to the Social Security fund....like every one else.
Which is what Cain has supported if you listened to his debate with Gingrich.
Why are you lying about him again?
Cain supports privitization of the present system.
That worked out for Ida May but not so well for my dad, who paid in from the beginning until he died in 1974 and never received a dime from S.S.
