To all who want to know more about Cain watch the youtube video and read his quote below.

I liked what he was saying, but this ended that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol45PnAIFRU

Video description: “I politely attempted to question Herman Cain on his support of the TARP Bailout and tried to obtain his opinion on the fact that billions of American Tax Payer Dollars went to Foreign Banks... As a Tea Party member who is deciding on who I should support for the Republican Primary I was shocked to hear him say “That’s too long of a question to answer” Mr. Cain seems very protective of the Federal Reserve and their secretive financial transactions.. He has lost my vote...”

Herman Cain in his own words:

“Wake up people! Owning a part of the major banks in America is not a bad thing. We could make a profit while solving a problem. But the mainstream media and the free market purists want you to believe that this is the end of capitalism as we know it.” -Herman Cain, re: TARP, 2008

Everybody voted for TARP. You would be better off to try to name the handful who did not. Hank Paulsen got everyone in a room and scared the crapola out of them with TEOTWAWKI and martial law talk.

The Federal Reserve is not likely to go away in our lifetime. All mainstream politicians and business people accept the Federal Reserve as a fact of life. You cannot excoriate someone for working within the system. You and I and Ron Paul want to get rid of the Fed but most people are fine with it.

Herman Cain wants to seriously get rid of the IRS and replace it with the Fair Tax. Right now 41% of the population does not pay any type of income tax. If we institute the Fair Tax everyone will pay taxes. All of the 12-20 million illegals will pay a tax everytime they buy a taco or a prepaid telephone etc. They and all of the tourists that come here from other countries will be chipping in to pay for our Social Security. All of the underground economy of all cash businesses will pay taxes. It will be up to the individual as to how much tax they pay. The Fair Tax only taxes one time on new products. If you elect to buy a pre-owned auto or home you will pay no tax. Everyone who pays $500 - $5,000 per year to a CPA to do their tax returns will have that money in their pocket.

So I’m going to stick with Herman unless someone a whole lot better comes along.

>>“That’s too long of a question to answer”<<

How about posting your entire question and letting us decide if it’s too long to answer?
