Or, you could just as easily see which plan or approach is constitutional. Cain's plan, however "flawed" it might be, runs parallel to what the founding fathers said would work. This can be seen in Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Consitution. Plan as day really, the very first federal allowance. Uniform taxation. This was effective and the federal government never saw a deficit (with the exception of the Civil War era) until the constitutional revolution in 1912 by socialist Wilson when he had congress ratify Amendments 16 & 17 into the consititution. By doing this, Wilson effectively transferred all the power of the states to the federal government by giving the states no representation and giving the people double representation and with the 16th amendment allowing the feds to tax those people however they wish - without uniformity. So in essence, this was the very first socialist movement and has since gotten terribly worse. If Cain's deal on uniform taxation were to happen, the 16th amendment would have to be repealed...something I am in full support of getting rid of. I encourage you guys to read the Constitution asap before siding with one party/candidate over another. Its a quick 20 minute read for an educated individual, maybe 30-40 min for the lower than average IQ's. Either way, its stupid to even choose a side without first knowing the foundation and success of our country. If ur an "anti-natural rights" person, then u should just move somewhere else instead. There r plenty of socialist/communist/corporatist countries to choose from elsewhere. We dont need to change what is nearly perfect in our country to suit those who want to live in total government dependency.
While Cain may have some additional things that he might need to adjust to make a strong run, I certainly like two things that he stands for:
1) abolishing the 16th amendment by tax reform
2) abolishing the 17th amendment by deligating power back to the states, which should be treated like mini countries since they were originally independent in every aspect OTHER THAN INTERSTATE COMMERCE, which the ISC clause defines clearly enough. This reduces the feds and central powers and gives it all back to the peeps and giving us essentially 50 different countries to choose from to live and prosper in.
