The first thing to remember is that Mr. Cain’s 9-9-9 plan is meant to be a temporary transition into the FairTax, which is the long-term solution this country needs, but realistically cannot be implemented over night. 9-9-9 is his “Phase 1″ to set the stage for a smooth transition while being revenue neutral in the …

Nerds4Cain: What is a sales tax? It is a tax that is paid by a customer when they purchase a retail item. Today, because of the way our tax system is configured, 22% of the retail price of any item purchased is due to hidden taxes embedded into the price. Hmmm, a 22% tax that is …

WND: By Herman Cain Do you know why candidates for office tend to be reluctant to propose detailed plans? Because they know the plans will be flyspecked and picked apart by just about everyone. Inviting criticism doesn’t help you to get votes. But fear of criticism prevents you from conceiving solutions to problems. So even …

Dick Morris: In 1980, facing a terrible economy, Ronald Reagan called for a new tax program: 10-10-10. Based on the Kemp-Roth bill, he called for 10 percent cuts in income taxes for three years. He got it, and it kindled 20 years of prosperity. Now, Herman Cain understands that we need fundamental reform to get …

The Wall Street Journal: It used to be that the sole purpose of the tax code was to raise the necessary funds to run government. But in today’s world the tax mandate has many more facets. These include income redistribution, encouraging favored industries, and discouraging unfavorable behavior. To make matters worse there are millions and …

Wall Street Journal: Herman Cain’s surge in the polls is focusing new attention on his “9-9-9″ tax plan, but also raising new questions about whether it does everything it claims. The former restaurant-company executive and Republican presidential candidate says his plan would raise at least as much revenue for the government as the current system, …

The Epoch Times: Herman Cain’s proposal to replace all federal taxes with a 9 percent income tax, a 9 percent national sales tax, and a 9 percent corporate tax makes good economic sense. This plan would impose the least administrative costs for raising the money needed to finance the federal government, better promote growth than …

Nerds4Cain: It seems that the 999 plan is receiving a lot of unfair criticism, because many people don’t understand the difference between a value added tax (VAT) and a retail sales tax. I’m going to try and describe the difference here, using the milk supply chain as an example. A retail sales tax (this is …

The Blaze: That’s correct. Herman Cain announced that his signature “9-9-9“ plan is actually a ”9-0-9” plan — at least when it comes to the nation’s poor. Cain, who has accused critics of never having read his 9-9-9 plan through to completion, insisted the 9-0-9 provisions of his plan have been included in his campaign literature …

The Blaze: It’s been a tough month for GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain. The former frontrunner slipped to third place in a national poll that came out last week by Quinnipiac University. His diminishing popularity has been blamed primarily on the sexual harassment charges waged against him and on his stumbling over policy questions. With sinking poll numbers, the …

HermanCain.com: “President Obama and his ultraliberal, anti-job creating comrades in the Democrat Party are apoplectic because Republicans are standing strong with the American people, refusing to hike their taxes during Obama’s Great Recession. Obama, again, is failing Americans, providing no leadership, and exacerbating our national debt to more than $15 trillion – over $48,000 for …

NewsMax: Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain sipped Cuban-style coffee and tossed out a few Spanish words during a sweaty rally in the heart of Miami’s Cuban exile community Wednesday, but made only one vague reference to Florida’s communist Caribbean neighbor. The former pizza company executive laid out his plan for reviving the American economy during …

Townhall.com: Herman Cain recently shot up in the GOP polls, demonstrating that he could be a threat to President Obama in the general election. With such positioning however, comes increased scrutiny. To that cause, critics have chosen the centerpiece of Cain’s message as their attack point: the 999 Tax Plan. The power of articulate persuasion in light of …

My Unconventional Endorsement – By Herman Cain
January 16, 2012
WND: I have been hounded in media interviews to give them the scoop on which Republican presidential candidate I’m going to endorse. When I respond that it will be “unconventional,” they go nuts because they cannot conceive of what that means. That’s not the way they think. So they try to guess what it means …
