We start by stopping 99 weeks of unemployment, drug testing people who are on unemployment and welfare... and basically anyone who works has skin in the game because we all pay FICA taxes — pretty heafty FICA at that... lower cap gains and create an atmosphere for businesses to return to the USA, get out schools off the union teet and teaching our kids the three R’s instead of liberal feel good crap... this country is not going to turn around in one administration, this is going to take a generation of concerted effort, but taxes are not the solution, a stable tax base is part of the solution and by that I mean business knowing they are not going to be taxed at every turn. Those OWS people scare me as much as these Cain supporters, everyone is pointing fingers somewhere else, fact is this started with th hippy generation of the 60’s and things have been going downhill since... the less money sent to DC the better... if you listened to Perry in NH after the debate last night he said it best, get DC back to doing what they constitution said they are responsible for and send the rest back to the states to do as each state sees fit.... Cain is not talking smaller government, all he talks about is 999... it is catchy and people are falling over themselves because he says it with a smile and he is a talkshow host and knows how to communicate... but he isn’t The Gipper!
Working under the (tax) table isn't skin in the game!
So are you saying that the Cain supporters are falling for a smooth-talking huckster?
I find that offensive as I’ve hardly heard him speak, but I’ve read what he has to say, and I’ve read about his Executive Experience.
Here’s a guy who has a Math and Physics degree, and a Computer Science degree.
He was also Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, so he knows how money affects “works” and affects our economy.
The left is howling about 9-9-9 because those 49% that are currently not paying will have to start paying.
Then there is a huge underground economy that is not paying taxes either.
Taxation alone is not the answer - fiscal responsibility is, as well as a healthy economy.
Cain was put in charge of 400 of the worst-performing, least-profitable BK Restaurants in Philly, and in 3 years, turned them into the most-profitable and the best-performing BK’s in the entire US.
Read his stance on other issues as well - he is as conservative as they come, although he too, like another GOP candidate was once a Dem.
He is also a TP member and supporter.
Here’s an example of how Cain thinks:
While other candidates talk about a 5% across the board cut in Government spending, Cain says instead of an across the board cut, let’s examine each program and determine if they should be cut by 5% or by 50% or eliminated altogether.
No other candidate is “thinking outside the box” in such a manner - they are just doing and saying the same thing we’ve been doing for years and its not working.
Cain will examine every aspect of Government spending and make cuts. Some big, some small, some maybe not at all, some maybe all.
Basically the same thing he did in business.
These other candidates all sound like they are saying the same thing, but just using different words and acting like Dems by making childish jokes about Cain’s 9-9-9 plan.
It’s no wonder Cain is the top candidate in most polls right now, but he may be nothing but a memory a year from now.
But right now, I look at his record in the private sector and his success, his being on Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, where he likely learned a lot about the economy and how money affects our economy, and how he doesn’t put up with any BS
Plus he takes the race card out of the hands of the Dems and might bring anywhere from 3% to 33% of the Black vote with him.
Trust me, the MSM and the Dems are going to lie and cheat and do whatever it takes to keep President Zero in office, including an October surprise, likely one with a racial component.
Cain will take the race card out of the hands of the Dems and the MSM, rip it into pieces, and throw it in the trash.
What will the Dems do then?
Call for more hippies to riot in the streets?
I cannot overemphasize how much Cain would neutralize the MSM and the race card, as any criticism of Obama by Perry or Romney or any other “white guy” will be twisted and distorted into a racial attack.
Remember the Sarah Palin/Charile Gibson interview?
The next day, every media outlet wrote and talked about how Palin wants to start a war with Russia.
Like I said, the MSM will twist and distort what comes out of the mouth of a white GOP candidate to be racist.
They are already doing it.
And I would love to see 1/3 of Blacks “leave the plantation”
As I said, everyone in the country would benefit, except the Illegal’s.
