How Herman Cain's proposed "9-9-(0)-9" tax plan would affect taxpayers

I don't plan to blog about this candidate, because I think he'll be another "flavor of the day" ephemeral news story,  but this graphic of his tax plan was too striking to pass up.  I suspect it's not the "9s" that generate this disparity, but rather the usually-unmentioned "0" percent tax on capital gains.  Click (twice) to view.

p.s. - I couldn't get the image to embed in a readable form, so I had to hotlink it, and it may undergo linkrot in a few days.
