I’m with you MNJ.
I like Palin but until she announces what’s the use of not judging those who have announced based on the issues they offer and that which we know about them?
I listen to Mark Levin every night and by me he has the right attitude. Why should we accept those candidates the media and Dems pick for us? Why can’t Herman Cain be a Republican nominee?
As for Perry, sorry guys. He flubbed it big time with that comment about us boobs out here in the hinterland being heartless for merely wanting an immigration policy that makes sense and is logical and most of all...IS THERE!
The politicians have flubbed this country’s immigration policy over the years just like politicos mess up everything they control cause their focus is on getting elected and not any kind of greater good.
The Fed controls money as is obviously their job. Next thing you know they’re giving mortgages to Crystal and her pimp and anybody else can show up sober for settlement.
Perry aligned himself with the political class elite who know better than us morons who think maybe having a sensible system for immigration would be better than just opening the gates and letting them have at it. Silly us. I was willing to forgive the man for the Gardisil issue as maybe an ill-informed action on the road of good intentions. But I am not heartless, I’d love for every Mexican who applies for citizenship to get it should he or she be worthy but such as borders are meant to be maintained and Perry....boob, you’re outta there.
Your mileage may vary, I understand this, but until we keep rejecting these dodoheads who just don’t get it they’ll keep governing toward their re-elections, our children and grandchildren be damned.
I hear Cain’s got a 9-9-9 plan and I’m wary of any kind of VAT tax because, did I mention? anytime you get the politicos running stuff it gets messed up....I think I mentioned this. You start putting up a national sales tax, and I know it’s based on elimination of the income tax, soon enough a Dem will get back into power and then we’ll have an income tax AND a VAT tax so Cain’s got some splaining to do.
But at least he has an idea and he’s got courage enough to present it. Consider Romney, whose idealology changes based on the audience to whom he speaks, or Perry, who doesn’t seem to have his hand on the pulse of the base no mind his pretty hair and appealing words.
Palin’s not in the race. If she steps up I’ll consider her seriously.
Until then....what’s wrong with Herman Cain? Why do we accept the snorts of the Lamestreams and God knows, I say softly, the Palinistas are almost as bad as them?
Well this should make you feel better about it.
9-9-9 does not include a VAT tax. VAT is a tax at every level of production. 9-9-9 only taxes final sales.
I don't think that has been mentioned.
I would add that even if a VAT tax does replace an income tax I would still be against it.
As somebody who has worked hard, saved some money and paid my income taxes for 35 years, a VAT tax would put a higher tax burden on my spending when I retire.
I used to feel the same way about any new tax, but now I realize that blaming the tax for the actions of the tax law writers is like blaming the gun because a bad guy used it to commit a crime. And the real problem is that the US Government spends $4.00 for every $2.20 it brings in.
I had a tag-line that went, "The only fair tax is the tax that taxes you and not me." I learned that the first day of the tax course I had to take in order to get an Accounting degree from the University of Illinois. And it is even more true now.
