<P align=justify><SPAN class=abody><BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>The Tax Policy Center,
a Washington think tank, says low and middle-income families would be hit
hardest, with households making between $10,000 and $20,000 seeing their taxes
increase by nearly 950 percent.<BR><BR>“You’re talking a $2,700 tax increase for
people with incomes between $10,000 and $20,000,” said Roberton Williams, a
senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.<BR><BR>“That’s huge.”<BR><BR>Households
with the highest incomes, however, would get big tax cuts. Those making more
than $1 million a year would see their taxes cut nearly in half, on average,
according to the analysis.<BR><BR>Among those in the middle, households making
between $40,000 and $50,000 would see their taxes increase by an average of
$4,400, the report said. Those making between $50,000 and $75,000 would see
their annual tax bill go up by an average of $4,326.<BR><BR>Cain disputed the
analysis Tuesday evening during GOP presidential debate in Las Vegas, where the
other Republican candidates heaped on criticism.<BR><BR>Cain has acknowledged
that taxes would increase for some but says taxes would decrease for
most.<BR><BR>Cain’s plan would scrap current taxes on income, payroll, capital
gains and corporate profits. He would replace them with a 9 percent tax on
income, a 9 percent business tax and a 9 percent national sales
tax.<BR><BR></SPAN><SPAN class=abody><I>Associated Press</I></SPAN> </P>
