LA Times Story Analysis finds Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan would raise taxes for most
Citizens for Tax Justice Analysis of Cain's 9 9 9 plan (It's a whopping 2 pages long). Where did your numbers come from CTJ?
The LA Times is not a trusted resource. They cite an analysis completed by Citizens for tax Justice in this story. I'm surprised they linked to it on the web. Most won't click to find out who did the analysis.
What do Citizens for Tax Justice stand for? They sound like they might be conservative.
Nope. Read on.
Our Mission (Citizens for Tax Justice)
Citizens for Tax Justice, founded in 1979, is a 501 (c)(4) public interest research and advocacy organization focusing on federal, state and local tax policies and their impact upon our nation. CTJ's mission is to give ordinary people a greater voice in the development of tax laws. Against the armies of special interest lobbyists for corporations and the wealthy, CTJ fights for:
-Fair taxes for middle and low-income families
-Requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share
-Closing corporate tax loopholes
-Adequately funding important government services
-Reducing the federal debt
-Taxation that minimizes distortion of economic markets
Yes it's a liberal organization
Steve Wamhoff one of the two people cited for this "analysis" used to work for these other liberal groups:
Coalition on Human Needs
Center for Community Change
Is this a deliberate attempt to undermine Cain's plan because they don't want Cain running against Obama?
