And His Social Policy Was Inspired by Grand Theft Auto...

If Herman Cain's "9-9-9" tax plan sounds like a special deal for a crappy medium Godfather's Pizza and some hot wings, it's because it is:

Still, Cain's Pizza Plan may have other inspirations behinds. As Joan d'Arc of Paranoia Magazine forwarded to The Konformist:

"In Herman Cain's America, the tax code would be very, very simple: The corporate income tax rate would be 9 percent, the personal income tax rate would be 9 percent and the national sales tax rate would be 9 percent. But there's already a 999 plan out there, in a land called SimCity... Long before Cain was running for president and getting attention for his 999 plan, the residents of SimCity 4 were living under a system where the default tax rate was 9 percent for commercial taxes, 9 percent for industrial taxes and 9 percent for residential taxes. "
