I'm Listening

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan.

The government uses the tax plan to nudge people towards all sorts of behavior - like buying houses, going to college, and redistributing wealth from high income earners to low income earners. Questions: First - are they effective? Second - are they just?

I'd prefer a super simple plan that doesn't try to game everything. I fix taxes to be an unnecessary headache and I always feel like I'm paying too much because I don't do anything fancy.
