Ah, but the American people won't blame Republicans, Mr. Cain. It will be seen as yet another attack on business, as private sector players now see that the "rich" are our economy's employers, investors-the ones who sign the checks. America has made the connection now that liberal policies have been put into action, between hammering the "wealthy" and low growth, IMHO.
If I'm wrong, then you're right, but I think this election shows people see capitalism as too fragile for government to deploy punitive taxes on those who have the capital to put at risk.
I love the comment make the tax rates permanent....no Congress can do that, furture ones always have the option of raising or lowering at their whim.
As far as giving him any issue, just say NO.
