TF, I am concerned you have gone the way of running to simple poll results. Don’t you care about fiscal conservatism?
Cain’s 999 plan will add a new federal line of revenue to the federal government so federal politicians can pick and chose people to get entitlements through the empowerment zones of the 999 program.
Are you REALLY that liberal that you would support someone who would promote federal tax and spend programs?
It makes it even WORSE that Rich Lowrie, the 999 architect said they were going to “fix” the 999 plan so that low income minorities would not have to pay as much of the federal tax, and maybe pay none at all. They are not sure whether to tax those low income individuals at 3%, 2%, or 0% yet, so we’ll need to wait and see how much less they pay (if any at all), but we SURE now know Cain’s empowerment zone programs of the 999 program will give our new line of federal taxation revenue to people that live in low income minority neighborhoods.
Conservatives shouldn’t want new lines of tax revenue to just give to the federal government for federal social welfare benefits, and they shouldn’t want the federal government making decisions for more benefits to whatever special groups the federal government chooses to “take care of”.
Cain’s empowerment zone programs in the 999 plan are liberal tax and spend projects, and no conservative should be supporting this, no matter the poll numbers.
And for me, fighting for fiscal conservatism is worth the fight.
We never gave in on our fight against more federal spending when we were dealing with TARP, and we did not give up fighting against raising the federal debt ceiling.
Conservatives need to rise up and now stand against creating new lines of federal tax revenue slated for federal entitlement programs.
Anyone who considers themselves fiscally conservative, no matter who you support, should stand up and say you will at least not support this progressive federal entitlement policy!
Plus, Cains 999 plan is contingent on “The Super Committee”
I don’t think a panel of 12 hand selected jackholes is what the founding fathers had in mind when they formed a representative Gov.
