Georgia businessman and Republican Presidential hopeful Herman Cain thinks he has your number.  Or maybe 3 numbers.

MrCain is pitching a 9-9-9 economic plan which is causing quite a stir in political circles.

Cain, if elected, has promised to set business taxes at a flat rate of 9%, a flat individual tax of 9%, and a 9% national sales tax rate.

His campaign has recently taken the Presidential spotlight as he won a Florida straw poll last month and tied with Rick Perry for second place in a recent Washington Post poll.

But video gamers are may not get his vote.

Cain’s 9-9-9 plan has caused some suspicion among those in the gaming community. They suspect it is based on the default tax rates in the popular computer game, Sim City.

In Sim City, the default settings are for a 9 % commercial tax, 9 % industrial tax, and a 9% residential tax. Cain campaign spokesman JD Gordon, when asked about the similarities between Cain’s plan and the Sim City game replied,

“Well, we all like 9-9-9.”

…Do we?
