Think about it...the 9-9-9 plan is too simple to ever replace our complicated tax code system.
I'm not passing judgement on the plan, just the probability that it would ever get implemented.

I don't disagree. There is too much power in the hands of Democrat and Republican legislators alike when it comes to taxes. There are ways to reward your supporters, pay back your "non-supporters" and to buy votes. Legislators are loathe to give up power.
It would take much public pressure combined with a Ronald Reagan-like charisma to get anything resembling Cain's 9-9-9 Plan to even a vote.
But I always liked those who try to put principle over expedience, and take the hard path when necessary in pursuit of their beliefs.
