I’m a pigeon. And I’m flying over Rick Perry’s car right now...
Cain’s plan has the potential to free up American Economic Exceptionalism by:
1) Eliminating Capital Gains and Dividend Taxes...which frees up people to truly invest in America, which creates wealth and jobs. This is no small idea. This will unleash pent up investment in the real private sector. It will also broaden and deepen the investor class to working and middle class families.
2) Flat taxation on income...which allows individuals who have succeeded to be more likely to start new businesses and or, more likely to take discretionary income and invest it in great American companies.
3) Lower Corporate Taxes and Death of Loopholes and current Tax Code...... put every American business on a level playing field by having a flat tax and elimination of the Government picking winners and losers. This resonates with America after seeing the failure of government “investment” in Solyndra.
Cain is seen as an Outsider, a Leader, and a Businessman who is a Problem-Solver.
