Baker, Perry. "Herman Cain tweaks 999 plan to help Lower Income Americans and himself."Washington Post. N.p., 09/21/2011. Web. 13 Nov 2011. <http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/herman-cain-tweaks-999-plan-to-include-opportunity-zones-for-lower-income-americans/2011/10/21/gIQAfBlh3L_story.html>.


 * 1) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">At the top of the presidential polls
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">he has an innovative tax plan and strong speeches
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">The central plank of Cain’s candidacy is a revision of the tax code which would replace the current, complicated system with three separate nine percent taxes,
 * 4) one would be on sales,
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">Another on peoples income
 * 6) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">Another on businesses.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;"> Cain says his plan includes “opportunity zones" for the people
 * 8) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">the federal government would designate for exemption from the 9-9-9 plan special areas with high unemployment and poverty
 * 9) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;"> businesses could deduct their entire payroll from their income subject that would normally be subject to the business tax in these ares
 * 10) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">People who live or work in these zones would also get tax benefits
 * 11) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">Cain would exempt people all over the country who are at or below the federal poverty line from the income tax
 * 12) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">that would be about $22,000 for a family of four
 * 13) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;"> For families who make more than $22,000, Cain would eliminate many of the current tax benefits they get under current law and require them to pay a nine percent tax on their incomes and purchases.
 * 14) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">he thinks that the role of the federal government should be to encourage economic growth by ensuring conditions that will allow businesses to thrive, not just survive
 * 15) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">That means less legislation, less regulation, lower taxes and business-friendly policies.
 * 16) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">His opinions consist of saying that the federal government should not be in the business of picking and choosing industries they support financially.
 * 17) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The federal government also impedes economic growth by interfering in the employer and employee relationship.
 * 18) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Forced unionization through the dishonestly named “Employee Free Choice Act,” or “card check,” would drive up the costs of goods and services, cause hundreds and thousands of jobs to be lost and ultimately, a more powerful system of liberal fundraising to be maintain
 * 19) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> the federal government taxes too much and too often.
 * 20) He says that he did no ttry to predict the future but protect and prevent
 * 21) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">999 plan would reduce taxes both for people who are poor and businesses that invest in low-income areas
