>>> Herman needs to emphasize the hidden tax in goods and services. People are not getting that they will save money on goods and services by removing 22% hidden taxes and replacing with 9% sales tax at final point of sale. Also since they already pay 22% plus their state sales tax now, they are saving money. >>>
Amen, you are right. It was breathtaking to see Perry, Romney, Santorum and Bachmann all pretend to be absolute bozo’s in their misunderstanding of this simply because Cain is now a front runner. It shows they must think all voters are too stupid to ever figure this out. I admit, a lot of knee jerk reactions indicate it’s a tough sell - and forget 999 for just a moment - the fact is if we are too stupid as a society to debate this plan honestly and intelligently, then we are too stupid NOT TO FAIL.
Michelle Bauchman’s screeching voice, at least for me, drones out her message. I doubt that any on-the-street person would even know what a VAT tax is and when anyone hears the word I am a lawyer- that is an instant turn off.
Romney is the world's smoothest assassinator with words of every candidate.
Santorum keeps pounding the drum about how many times he has won Pennsylvania. Did he forget he lost the last primary to a fellow republican?
And Perry, well Perry was just Perry. Great Governor but not meant to lead a Country.
Newt came out on top but I don't think he has the personality factor that is needed to develop passion in the voters.
Herman held his own but was getting so pounded by the others who didn't have a clue about his overhaul of the IRS. He should have done a better job of explaining his plan beyond oranges and apples.
I think that the debate only did one thing, maybe, and that was giving one last chance to those on the fence with Perry. And I think Perry lost those folks to some other candidate.
I am still a devoted Cain fan, but he needs to put in simple terms how his tax plan will work for America. JMO
