Yes, let’s all get behind Romney./s
I am a Perry supporter convert. I love Cain’s 9-9-9 plan. He has indicated that this is a stepping stone in his plan to implement a fair tax (moving from our current system to a fair tax cannot be completed in a single step, and I agree). I think his plan puts skin in the game from every citizen, which is certainly not the case now. I like it, and I like Cain a little more every day.
I don’t support any new taxes of any kind. Until the income tax is eliminated I would not support a national sales tax. I’m all for a consumption tax as long as there is no tax on income, capital gains or estates.
“But Cain isn’t running on serious policy proposals. The guy knows how to market and pitch an idea; after all, the 9-9-9 plan is easy to remember and the one-liners that he is tossing out are catchy. This may be good for selling pizzas, but not for tax policy. And the lack of seriousness is best exemplified by his campaign, which has no campaign stops in early primary states this month”
Isn’t that the truth. blow some smoke you know where and the sheeple will follow you anywhere. Even off the tax cliff.
Definitely in contention for stupidest post of the year. Hang in there, you might win!
I like Herman's moxie I really do, but his 999 Plan is horribly laid out, it is ripe for failure and his "signature black" Beaudreux hat smacks of desperation.
So, how do you fund social security and medicare? They’re going broke now and that’s with contributions of 15.3% (including the matching employer portion). If there is only a 9% income tax that’s supposed to replace social security, or is that on top of the 999?
Sounds like a pizza ad.... Perry is the only person that can stop Romney
I agree. NEVER give the Rats a new way to tax without getting some other tax removed in return.
But at lease Cain has a plan, instead of offering the usual focus group tested sound bites.
It might not be perfect, but Cain is the ONLY candidate emoting an economic plan.
There, I fixed the title (I forgot to in my first post).
These armchair quaterbacks scream foul if a candidate doesn’t have a plan or act like the candidate would push through the plan first day in office if they do have one.
I have to give the critics credit though. They’ve managed to setup our guys any way they turned. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
Cain has the right idea, it just needs some tweaking. Ditch the sales tax part and go with an across the board flat tax. You pay X% amount of income or capital gains, period. No deductions, no forms, no using the tax code as a weapon. Everybody from the part-time employee to the CEO of the company pays the same amount, period. Oh, this hinges on repealing the amendment to the Constitution that allows Congress to levy the income tax.
One fixed amount of tax, combined with reducing the Federal government to the size it was meant to be by our founding fathers, would eliminate uncertainty and promote stabilty in our financial system.
Obummer is a totally inexperienced failure who is learning on the job.
So our plan is to replace him with our own even less experienced on the job trainee.
Then we’ll run on a platform of “vote for me and I’ll raise taxes on the 50% of you who don’t currently pay any taxes.”
That should totally energize their base and get them to stay home. /s
Yeeeeaaahhh - Deaniacs are us.
Ouch.
You are fighting so hard for the RINOs and socialists on FR, something tells me you’ll get zotted before the primary season is through.
