When Herman Cain first revealed his "9-9-9" tax plan, it sparked instant speculation that the former pizza chain executive might have been applying pizza marketing techniques to his campaign for president.
But then the Huffington Post’s Amanda Terkel discovered another possible inspiration: The video game SimCity4.
The game allows players to create virtual cities and build the rules for their virtual societies. The default tax plan bears a striking resemblance to Cain’s 9-9-9 plan: a 9% housing tax, a 9% commercial tax and a 9% industrial tax. (Cain’s plan would impose a 9% personal income tax, a 9% business tax and a 9% sales tax.)
The similarity was met with enthusiasm by the game’s maker, Electronic Arts, which is now offering it at a special sale price of $9.99, Terkel reported Monday.
EA also put out a video that features Sim-style versions of Cain, President Obama, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
“Your 9-9-9 plan? Not so fast, Mr. Cain,” it says. “… the 9-9-9 is a video game plan.”

do you know how many cain threads you're going to start? you have 11 in just 2 days.
Cain is only here for 15 minutes of fame, let him get picked on. The Gestapo has been on Obama for three years.
the Obama SimCity option was not popular......it took all the assets that you managed to accumulate and distributed them to other players.......

Obama has been the most conservative president of all time. He has done nothing that smacks of wealth redistribution. Maybe distribution from those who produce - the lower class - to those who receive - the upper class. That is the conservative wealth distribution scheme! The upper class are social parasites, parasites that want to kill their host. They will soon find that their host will kill them! Justice is sweet!

LOL, I remember that. 9-9-9 was the basic tax rate in that game. However, the taxes were on residents, commercial business, and industrial business.

Come on "Atlas", Shrug! It would be beautiful! You would be doing our job for us. Imagine if the King of England had decided to go on strike to show those he exploits and oppresses how much they truly need him - thanks for saving us a war!

Cain beleaves that the poor should be rob of what little they have left and give it to the rich. Then imprison all the homeless as vagrants.

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan would raise taxes on 84 percent of U.S. households, according to an independent analysis released Tuesday, contradicting claims by the Republican presidential candidate that most Americans would see a tax cut.
