Normally, I'd say
this admission by Herman Cain about his 9-9-9 tax plan would end his little boomlet...
MR. GREGORY: People--there are people who will pay more.
MR. CAIN: That's right. Some people will pay more, but most people would pay less is my argument.
...but since the tax hikes would be on the middle-class and the poor, but not the rich...
DAVID GREGORY: And you think those people are going to rally around tax reform where the wealthy pay less and middle-class and lower income folks pay more? You think that's going to create a grassroots support for this?
HERMAN CAIN: Oh yes, because if they do the math, you do the math on your individual situation, people are going to benefit several other ways other than whether they pay more in taxes
...then as far as most Republicans are concerned, it's all good.
