Herman Cain 999 Plan: Did It Come From SimCity?
h/t InstapunditWASHINGTON -- In Herman Cain's America, the tax code would be very, very simple: The corporate income tax rate would be 9 percent, the personal income tax rate would be 9 percent and the national sales tax rate would be 9 percent. But there's already a 999 plan out there, in a land called SimCity. Long before Cain was running for president and getting attention for his 999 plan, the residents of SimCity 4 -- which was released in 2003 -- were living under a system where the default tax rate was 9 percent for commercial taxes, 9 percent for industrial taxes and 9 percent for residential taxes. Cain started as programmer. Could it be he was such a successful businessman because he could write superior simulations? (standard SF plot) Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2011-10-14 |
