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.
please stop with all the common sense. you will give some people a headache.
