The fair tax is a national sales tax in place of the income tax. Herman is not getting rid of the income tax with his 999 plan. It would seem that he is signing on to what he thought was wrong just 12 months ago. The thread poster seems to have hit on a legitimate point.

I hate to be snippy, but you are simply factually ignorant in every post you’ve made in this thread. Cain gets rid of a 70 thousand word code in his 999 plan and replaces it with a simple flat income tax piece. Are you being obtuse on purpose or is this really that complicated for you?
That’s a serious question, because your vapid assumptions are stunting any serious debate on the issue because kindergarten mistakes have to be corrected before we can even get to the philosophical issues.
