Summary
Herman Cain, a first time candidate who has been increasingly gaining popularity as a Republican candidate has been admitting to some flaws in his plans. Known for his 9-9-9 tax plan, which has gained attention for setting a 9% tax for all Americans, regardless of their income, Cain has recently admitted that some will actually witness an increase in taxes through his plan. Moreover, Cain has also retracted his earlier comment on reducing illegal immigration by building an electrified fence that will kill all who attempt to cross it.
Connection
Cain, as a Republican candidate has gained a widespread popularity among Republicans for his tax plan. Because the majority of Republican supporters are wealthy, his 9-9-9 tax plan will actually decrease their taxes.
Reflection
I think that Cain, with his retrogressive tax plan and support of extreme immigration measures will unlikely become the final candidate. Despite the current support for him, I doubt that it will last long due to his inexperience and lack of funds to continue his campaign.
