The best graph of Herman Cain's 9-9-9- plan that I've seen:

[sufrommich]

Atlantic contributor Jared Bernstein shares a graph from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. It's based on the Tax Policy Center's analysis of Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan. It's striking, obviously, but not surprising. If you create a flat tax, strip out the deductions for working families, and leave investment income untouched, you'll inevitably raise taxes across the board except for the investor class.

6. That's amazing.

What would help is a chart or key showing the income ranges of those percentages - e.g., for people making 50K-70K a year: etc. Then it would clue people in more.

7. At least the top 1% don't get the most benefit.

The top 0.1% do.
