The cigarette tax is not a sales tax.it is paid at point of origin and added to the wholesale price. That is not what Cain is discussing. Hewants point of sale. Do you know how many agents will be required to monitor compliance. In NYC we employ hundreds of agents,the state has several thousand more. Retailers will have three levels of tax paperwork and record keeping.
As for experience, Bush 43 had his father.Sowcroft.Rice on his team. Clinton had the advantage of the supposed end of history era. Neither had the expectation of int’l crisis. Right now the world is falling apart,politically and financially. The US cannot afford on the job training.
BTW I have tried not to respond in the personal tone used by you. Insulting replies, I find.useless. Have a good night.
Guess you missed the classes in history that taught you about the Democrat Party's history. You know the lessons on how it was the party of Slavery, Segregation and Secession?
I am sorry but your complete ignorance of Cain’s 9-9-9 makes your commentary on it completely useless. You have yet to make a factually accurate statement.
How much foreign policy experience did Ronald Reagan have when he was elected? As far as I know, maybe some contact with Mexico because of the border.
Yet he was elected at the height of the Cold War. Did a pretty good job of it, too.
Anyone who has good character, firm principles, and the willingness to support America and her allies can conduct foreign policy.
Sometimes lack of foreign policy experience allows people to see things more clearly, without all of the baggage of past entanglements.
I would rather have someone of good character and a lack of foreign policy experience in the White House than an experienced charlatan like Obama (although his experience seems to be mainly insulting allies, bowing to heads of enemy states, and creating havoc in the Middle East.)
