Instead of 9-9-9, How About 0-0-0?
October 2, 2011
Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan has a big problem. It still gives the government too much money to spend (actually, just as much as now). Here someone proposes instead a 0-0-0 plan, which libertarians will like much better. I should point out that Ron Paul has for years advocated eliminating the income tax and replacing it with nothing and forcing Congress to cut spending to match what little revenue still comes in. He just doesn’t have a goofy Republican plan. His plan is called “freedom to keep the fruits of your labor.”
