Remember that any plan such as this would have to make its way through Congress. Remember that lobbyists are extremely powerful critters in Washington and if enough lobbyists get to their Congressmen, something will or will not happen.

In the 9-9-9 plan, who would be hurt by it? The IRS, of course, and they have massive lobbying power. Also, the tax attorneys and tax accountants would be hurt. Once again, very powerful lobby groups.

I would also guess another group who might be hurt would be large item retailers such as the automobile industry. We know their lobby power.

Once again, to RichieLion's sorrow, I predict Herman Cain will not be your Republican nominee.
