You may be reading posts too quickly. I’m asking for examples of what I quoted you saying, specifically. Nothing to do with poverty rates.
Are you questioning the fact that I said that the 9-9-9plan, which stinks on ice, keeps changing?
It has!
It has morphed into a 9-9-9 plan for some, some other kind of plan for those who live in DETROIT ( where Cain asked the audience to say:"AMEN", which I found extremely offensive ! ) when he said that THEY would be spared some of the taxes in one respect and ALL of them on income, and yet a different "plan" for businesses who agree to do business in the ghettos.......eeeeeeerrrrrr...."empowerment zones".
The "poor" will get a prebate on sales taxes, pay NO income taxes, and therefore STILL have no skin in the game.
His plan is a PROGRESSIVE tax on most, freebies for others, some loopholes for some businesses, which means that the final figures won't add up at the 9 level.
Some people are giddily happy with this plan, even with the backtracking, exemptions, and "tweekings". I'm NOT! All this plan would do, is to ADD a Federal level of sales tax!
People tighten their belts in hard times......yes, even the wealthy. Sales taxes on food and services will take away any imagined "savings" the rest of this plan supposedly gives.
The reality of it all is...............this plan, whatever the bloody hell it is/shall be, has NO chance of being put into law.
