Herman Cain supports the "fair tax". It is a terrible idea. They want to send everyone a "pretax" check to everyone every year to make up for the taxes they "would" have spent on things like food and medicine and then have a national sales tax. The LAST thing we need is the government sending checks to everyone every year. They would constantly want to raise it to buy votes, the checks would get "lost", send to prisoners, dead people, and crooks, the liberals would want to "means" test it, another big agency and a bunch more spending. If you want to replace income tax with sales tax, just omit taxes on those items when they are purchased and forget sending the checks.
Cain also supported tarp bank bailouts
