And it's not just how bad it would hurt them. It's so UNFAIR. They already paid income tax, payroll tax, cap gains tax, dividends tax, gas tax, etc etc, and somehow managed to have something left, and now Cain and his moronic followers want to make them pony up some more! First another 9%, but if he has his way, another 33%!!!
Do you remember when the Tea Party stood for TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY? Now, it apparantly stands for TAX EVERYTHING ALREADY. It's beyond sad. It's grotesque and absurd.
You are absolutely correct.... but sadly the tea party appears to have morphed into something I do no recognize.
There is the rub. It would be major for those that worked by the rules then get whacked with a fed consumption tax. The tax code is a nightmare. It is probably way to late to get this off the ground as a viable plan but it would have worked in FDR’s days.
Most people would pay less in taxes under 9-9-9 and business hiring would boom.
I’m already paying over 33% and probably closer to 35% if I factored in “hidden” taxes, so I would benefit from 9-9-9.
I’ll defer to the guy with the Math and Physics degree on this one.
Besides, Cain is the only GOP candidate that will neutralize the “Race card” in the debates, and would also bring some of the Black vote over to the GOP
Instead of 98% of Blacks voting for Obama, maybe only 95% will, with the other 3% voting for Cain, which might be the difference. Remember 2000?
I’ve heard numbers as high as 33% of Blacks would vote Cain over Obama.
The most important part - the media won’t be able to claim that any of Cain’s criticism of Obama is “racist” either.
Why else do you think their heads are exploding and that they are in full attack mode?
Nominating Cain would neutralize the only card they have, possibly for for many years to come.
I even heard one lefty claim that Cain is responsible for Obesity in the US because of the companies he worked for.
I told him that BK has healthy menu choices, diet coke and that Godfather’s has veggie Pizza.
I also told him that it’s typical of a lefty to blame others for their obesity instead of themselves and the choices they are making.
No one is forcing them to eat at BK or to drink Coke.
Cain has a history of successfully turning around failures.
Hopefully, he can do the same with the US after Obama is done screwing it up.
Think of the POTUS job as being the CEO of the US:
Who would be more likely to bring this “company” back into the black? (no pun intended.)
