Herman Cain Interview: Will Take 50 Percent Salary Cut As President

Someone ought to ask him how much his 999 tax plan increases his own personal wealth, compared to the current system.

I'm guessing it would make up for a presidential salary cut many times over.

Good question

But I'm sure Cain would not have his own self interest in mind....nor that of his fellow billionaires
 
Herman Cain Interview: Will Take 50 Percent Salary Cut As President
While taking a 1000% increase from big banking/Wall Street. Just what would his pay cut do for the country?

Prove it asshat!

That man has more integrity in his little pinkie toe than you have in your entire body.


Cain brings trust to the Republican party and you cant handle that!!!
Come on man, you know better than to assume a politician would somehow ascend to the presidency without support from big banking and Wall St.
 
It's a compassionate gesture during incredibly difficult times for most Americans. I can't see how someone could be so bitter and criticize the man over it. Some people just need to hate i guess. I applaud Cain on this one.
 
Well he wins he better petition for this pay cut before he takes office. His pay cannot be cut during his term or increased.
I would hope someone I was voting for for President would know what is written in the Constitution.
 
I also want to know why the guy doing the interview also doesn't know what is written in the Constitution.

Executive Order. They're all the rage these days. A pay-cut is possible.

Didn't know you could have Executive Orders that went against the Constitution?

You cannot increase or decrease a Presidents salary during his elected term.
 
"The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."

Article II Section I

I think she is right. Any pay change is not effective until the next legislative session

What Cain "accepts' as pay is a diferent matter

Funny part, is they still have to cut the check for the same amount. What will he do with the other half? Give it to the government? What message would that send to the Tea Party people?

Yea and good point. I think it's a nice gesture regardless. Hardly worth hating on the guy. His intentions are honorable.

He either didn't know what the Constitutions says, or it was empty gesture.
I don't even have a college degree and I knew that was in the Constitution. ;) I think the man needs to spend some time learning the Constitution, or he needs to stop making empty gestures.

You sure you're not taking this one too seriously? The man has good intentions. I like him. He knows business and he's not a career politician. I wish him luck.

Sorry, I first off like my elected officials to know the Constitution they will represent, and second to not make empty gestures.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

That's cool. I think you might be taking it a bit too seriously though. Cain's a good guy. God Bless. See Ya.
 
Cain is refreshing. He knows economic issues and isn't a career politician. The more i hear from him,the more i like him. I don't understand why so many are so resistant to him. He's probably exactly what this country needs at this point.

You find violating the First Amendment and Federal labor law ‘refreshing’?

What the country doesn’t need at this point is a partisan conservative hack and rightwing ideologue.

It's a compassionate gesture during incredibly difficult times for most Americans. I can't see how someone could be so bitter and criticize the man over it. Some people just need to hate i guess. I applaud Cain on this one.

No, many people are smart enough to recognize a political gimmick when they see it.

"The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."

Article II Section I

Cain’s at least consistent in his ignorance of the Constitution, or contempt for the same.

He will probably just donate it to his favorite Muslim charity

Yet you think the country is ok with the liberal/socialist leftwing hack we are saddled with now? In full campaign mode even?
