The real truth behind Cain's 9-9-9 plan
Controlling 99% of the wealth isn't enough...

They want 99.9% of the wealth.

3. Especially offensive is Cain's assertion that the POOR can make it fair...
...by choosing to buy a lot of things used, instead of new, to reduce their tax burden.

Herman Cain's 999 tax plan--it's why we can't have nice things. :puke:

4. The poor (and many in the middle class) already are buying
used things to save money. Cain does not know what he is talking about. He does not live in the reality on Main Street. That is for sure.

5. Exactly
If they asked Cain the price of milk at a supermarket, he'd do just as poorly as Bush did. He doesn't have a clue about the struggles of the working class and the poor today. He's only sensitive to the 'plight' of the wealthy. :puke:

6. I don't have the facts to back this up ...
... but I happen to believe Herman Cain said, "If you don't have a job, if you're not rich, eat cake."
