Time magazine columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria says Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s “9-9-9” tax reform plan is “sloppy and, in parts, bizarre.”

“I would enact a 50 percent inheritance tax, because nothing is more un-American than an inherited elite that perpetuates itself,” Zakaria wrote for the magazine.

Then run for President on that platform you anus and see how far you get.

Let’s think about what he REALLY means.

IF “perpetuating an inherited elite” is unamerican, then takimg 50% isn’t enough.

A guy inherits $1 billion and he keeps $500 million. He’s still an inherited elite.

So his “logic” really leads to the confiscation of ALL wealth.
