I came to this thread looking for the honest vetting of Cain in the headline. There are about three posts’ worth of that in the thread. The rest is back-and-forth between Perry fans and haters.
As someone who doesn’t understand many economic issues, I come to threads about economics and taxes and Wall Street sans occupiers because there are some interested and smart folks on those issues who post here.
I hope a few of them show up on this thread to talk about the subject of this article.
Nice straw man, Why don’t you enlighten us as to the issues DW377? Did you read any of the article?
I did not know it was the job of Cincinatus Wife to lead the debate. She only posted a freekin article for comment.
The difference between the candidates can be boiled down simply. Perry supports the current 35-35-0 system in which politicians get to dole out tax breaks to ease the corporate rate (highest in the world). Perry wants to create jobs Texas-style in energy especially, dialing back EPA regulations. Cain is fundamentally different with his flat taxes. His way of creating jobs is to not confiscate income from job-creators or corporate profits. But some people have a legitimate beef with sales taxes by the Feds, it opens up a door they don’t want opened.
