The thing won't get passed in the congress. If republicans are lucky we will get 3-4 seats in 2012 in the senate. This means 51-52 seats and the democrats will filibusterer the hell out of it for Cains entire term. McCain, Snow, Colins will vote it down too. Who knows who else...The house may not even pass it. I believe it is dead in the congress.
What I don't like about Cain is that he says his 999 plan is bold... fuck, I can come up with a "bold" tax plan if I could have it my way... But to get congress to pass it is another thing. So in the end this is where I feel Cain's lack of political experience would make him a useless President, as it has to Obama. Everyone else on that Republican stage understands you have to move the tax code in steps, some steps can be big, some small but you can't just say "I'm President lets push the restart button because I wana..."
Many Reps won't like adding a income tax, all Democrats will hate it because it's Republican (that's ok it works both ways). So how does Cain plan to get it passed? Not to mention Cain seems to be very inaccurate about its revenue.
