And well deserved at that.
While I agree with the tone of the article, I disagree that he’s the frontrunner. I have him still behind Romney and Perry, but he’s catching up quickly.
What’s your point?
Yep, I have to fan myself, too. :o) My dream team: Cain/West. Wooooot!!
Amazing, isn't it. The "Taxed Enough Already" people are throwing their support behind the guy who will pretty much increase taxes for nearly everyone in the country. Point this out though and you're a "Perrybot".
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Sigh...
Great. So let's support a guy while hoping congress won't pass the abysmal plan that is the cornerstone of his campaign?
bttt
I will take a wise, mature, successful in business, father figure type IN A NEW YORK MINUTE over a adolescent in a man’s body, narcissistic, zero business experience, spread the wealth community organizer................!!!!
“Yes, America is leaderless.”
The truth is, The Establishment behind Obama is planning to change the world and is unqualified to do it. They have the power but not the knowledge or experience.
The big money men of the world banks, centuries-old world royalty and various career politicians like Kissinger and Gorbachev, with the support of the foundations, using the untested social ideas of ivory tower college professors who write books, is destroying the greatest economy and society in history (you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet) and throwing away what is known to work in order to install a system that will probably not work.
It’s based on human pride and greed - and the lust for power.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting an ADULT in the White House.
I appreciate Cain’s honesty and his total belief in this country. He’s confident, and he has plenty of foundation to base that confidence on. He’s proved that he makes excellent decisions. I want to see what he can do to turn the country around.
Even a lower middle income family is better off on the 9-9-9 plan.
Here is an example (all figures per year)
Gross paycheck =$40,000
Under current system:
Federal tax $2000
Payroll tax = $6000
Mortgage = $13,000
Car payment = $3500
Savings & contributions to retirement plans = $2000
Total tax paid = $8000
Under 999 plan:
Federal tax = $3600 (9% of 40,000)
Sales tax on (40,000-3600-13,000-3500-2000) x 9% = $1611
Total tax paid = 3600+1611 = $5211
Savings under 9-9-9 plan = 8000-5211 = $2779
which is additional purchasing power or to be used to save
for future purchases.
I’m going to take the opinions of Laffer and Forbes over yours. They’re behind 9-9-9, as a transition to the fair tax.
I guarantee Cain would not hire Cain. I guarantee the only executives Cain hired in Godfather’s Pizza were those with a RECORD of SUCCESS.
The only job anyone without a resume would get in Godfather’s Pizza is delivery man and even then he/she would have to show proof of a drivers’ permit.
So you want to hire a guy with no resume as a proven leader? You also would not mind if he were to hire others to assist him that also have no record or resume for the position they are appointed to?
One can’t be asked to be the President of the USA without a record of experience to judge him/her by. We can’t pick someone just because he/she tells you what you want to hear and makes you think he will do it becuse it SOUNDS GOOD.
That’s what those Dummies on the other side did in the last election.
Is there a website with more detail about your scenario?
Thanks! :)
“You are right, Maceman. Cain is either the best candidate for the JOB of president, or he isn’t.
“Father figure” is just as much stupid BS as Obama being “the One”.
The writer should be ashamed for posting such school-girl emotionalism.”
I disagree with criticizing the writer.
I love just about everything Herman stands for, some people feel more strongly about one policy or another.
If we have a policy discussion between us here on FR, without emotion, that is fine and dandy for us, but don’t discount Herman’s appeal to the less informed or less sophisticated.
There are millions of people who might see her article, and if even a few of them tell their friends, and some of them tell their friends, it will add to the ‘snowball’.
I say, bless her heart for writing good things about my favorite candidate.
More people than ever are paying attention this time around, so let’s start educating them.
Keep in mind that because of government schools and current culture, there are a lot of forces pulling in the opposite direction.
Well it's great you will vote for him. He's my choice too.
But seeing him as a "father figure" is just too creepy, although I understand why he would be a good father figure.
But as I say, we're not looking for a father figure. It's not about whether you vote for him, it's about whether people start emotionally projecting on him, and seeing him as some kind of more-than-human leader. Real Americans don't deify their leaders.
There's a reason why we refer to the president as "Mr. President" rather than "His Excellency the President" or "His Majesty the President."
