Great ploy CW! How many posts before it becomes obvious someone actually read the column?

I wonder if the author knows that Washington, D.C. is the nation's C-A-P-I-T-O-L.

Capital has a different meaning entirely.

Ok, I read the whole thing. Here’s my response.

I think the plan is GREAT and I really like it. And I also think that the only way it could be implemented is if either he became a dictator or our country collapsed and the Phoenix that rises from the ashes uses Cain’s tax. And there is one reason for this:

This country has an ARMY of accountants, attourneys, tax specialists and support personnel in departments in large (and small) companies, in private offices (H&R Block, etc.) and intertwined throughout our economy and culture. Our tax system is an INDUSTRY of highly trained and paid individuals. And it is a LARGE, GROWTH industry. His plan would put the gross majority of them out of work. Considering that a significant portion of this group is attorneys, you can forget about it - Unless the country collapses or Cain becomes a dictator. I don’t expect the latter. The former is only a matter of time - a relatively short time.

I read it before responding, which is why I know calling for a carbon tax is funny.
