Herman Cain admits "some people will pay more" under 9-9-9

"That’s right. Some people will pay more," Cain told David Gregory of NBC’s Meet the Press. "But most people will pay less, that’s my argument."

Asked by Gregory who will pay more, Cain said, "The people who spend more money on new goods. The sales tax only applies to people who buy new goods, not used goods. That's a big difference that doesn’t come out."

When asked how his plan might affect a poor widowed mother with a newborn infant Cain replied, "She can buy used milk and used diapers. She can get them cheaper and won't have to pay any sales tax. It's win-win. Everybody wins with 999."

Good going. A lot better than those 1000+ post posters who "think" they are funny.

Post more often, please.

I just might

I think I get what used diapers are and I can't imagine anybody wanting to buy them, but what the fuck is used milk?

How far up his ass is this guys head?

Herman Clown really did say that people could buy "used milk" and "used diapers"?

And put a used diaper on his grandkids...don't think so.

What are used diapers? Must not be the disposable kind.
Won't the large corporations that make disposable diapers be upset?

Like itsrobert said, it's Oniony

Herb Cain is a stubborn piece of used food. This too shall pass.

Please tell me this is from the onion.

:eyes:

Nevermind his stupid milk and diapers excuse.

Under 999, everybody wins!

Free Pizza for Everyone!

No he didn't really say that. It's just my way of dealing with the frustration of having to put up with no one putting Cain's feet to the fire on this.

Under Cain's plan the poorest among us are catapulted to the highest income bracket, while the richest among us would sudden;y find themselves miraculously in the lowest. It's all about the percentage of income that is paid in taxes and as the poor have to spend ALL of their income just to survive and the rich maybe only have to spend anywhere from, oh, say .005% to 20%, and we ALL have to pay 9% on income, the poor end up paying the highest percentage of their income in taxes. It is simple arithmetic, but the brain-dead buffoons who play footsie with Cain in the media are not calling him out on this.

This is just my way of bringing it to SOMEONE'S attention. Thank you for reading it!

That would make it the 99999 plan.



And babies don't drink milk, let alone there not being such a thing as used milk (it's called baby puck), they drink formula, which isn't cheap.

The non-working rich who live on capital gains. Cain's 999 plan eliminates capital gains taxes. This has been true in every flat tax plan I have seen. We pay 9% plus the 9% passed onto us by businesses.

Forget who pays more or less under this plan. Focus on this, with a sales tax on consumption, people will stop buying things. Since we are a consumption based economy, the sudden dearth of consumer spending will kill this economy.

Combo-Pack!

Why the mainstream press doesn't ask him why he changed is as we know too difficult for the main stream press to do. Furthermore why no one is asking him about his planned genocide comment about Planned prenthood is beyond the pale.
