I am not in favor of adding a sales tax without removing the income tax.

No kidding, in reality you're then stuck with two ever-increasing taxes. Kinda like "trust me, Mr. Reagan, once amnesty is passed we'll work on securing the border."

Please read Mr. Cain's entire plan.

The tax structure he is proposing requires a 2/3rds or Super Majority of the Senate to vote to raise it.

That means on any proposed increases you can contact your Senator and tell him/her to vote against any increases.

His plan is well thought out. Go to his website and check it out.

The 999 is only a stopgap measure (1-2 years) transition to repeal of the 16th and the Fair Tax.

These rates can only be changed with 2/3 majority, and since EVERYONE will be paying taxes, and no loopholes, there is the people can put huge pressure on Congress not to change anything.

Plus - no taxes on used goods.

This plan puts many more constraints on Congress than currently exists.
