Herman Cain to Launch ‘9-9-9’ Bus Tour

Herman Cain, the former Republican presidential candidate who dropped out of the race late last year, said he is launching a bus tour to promote his “9-9-9” tax plan.

“The biggest comment that I got when I ended my candidacy was, ‘Keep 9-9-9 alive,’” Cain said in an interview with Fox’s Sean Hannity.

During his campaign, Cain gained traction on the proposed tax plan that would replace most of the existing tax code with a flat 9 percent tax on retail sales, business income, and personal income.

Cain, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, said he is not getting in the race or endorsing any Republican candidates.

“We’re going to get commitments from members of Congress in 2012 before election day in order to support 9-9-9, the legislation,” Cain said, adding that most of the candidates in the GOP failed to talk about concrete solutions to fix the American economy.
