The Tax Policy Center did an analysis of Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan to see how it would affect taxpayers from the Bottom 20% to the Top 0.1 % regarding average household tax liability. While the results were striking, they weren’t too surprising as the author of the linked article had this to say:
