Obama at least will get us slowly out of the middle east and is honest.
It seems as if the media is giving 'ol Herb the same type of passes they gave their previous chosen one...
I honestly cannot tell who is worse. They are both lying war mongers.
Has American politics sunk this low?
This is 2008 all over again.
Cain is so far to the ******* right that he is spiting fire out of his mouth. He is farther to the right then Obama is to the left...He is big business to the core and **** the little guy to much for my taste. I like some of his social stances(guns, abortion, borders,), but he wants more war and to hurt the low and middle class. His tax plan sucks.
Where did he say he wants to start a war? Or are you just projecting because you have a crush on Obama?
How does he want to hurt the poor and the middle class... By my view lowering the poors 15% payroll tax to a 9% income tax..... Last I checked 9 is less than 15.
Let's move on to the sales tax. Currently the corporate tax rate is at 35% and let's get real corporations don't pay taxes, only people.
If you run a business and sell a product, you are going to price in the cost of doing business along into the cost of the materials to create the product.. Part of the cost of doing business is taxes.
The farmer adds his tax costs to the wheat he farms and sells to the mill. The mill adds its corp tax to the price of the milled wheat that is sold to Kellogg's, Kellogg's creates their product and adds in their corporate tax to their cost before handing off to the distributor that adds their tax and sends on down to the grocery store that adds their corp tax rate before putting it on the shelf so your fatass can have a bowl of cereal in the morning. You just paid the corporate tax of all those companies.
These embedded taxes you do not see but pay for in every product you buy at the store. Cato and heritage and a few others found the average tax in products is roughly 22%... By lowering the corp rate down to 9% and the forces of competition would force the products we purchase today and adds a visible 1 time at the point sales tax... And with that tax it still comes in cheaper.
To recap, our ultra high corporate tax rate acts like a VAT, the 999 shoots to lower this by at least 2/3rds.
And to boot, a NRST is a voluntary tax, meaning you choose when, where and how much tax you pay. Nothing could be more free than that, when compared to your mandatory tax that you and Obama live so much called the income tax.
The poor and middle class get a bigger benefit under this plan because buying used goods, like cars and homes and second hand clothing can avoid the sales tax altogether.
The point of the 999 is to get Americans used to the concepts in the FairTax and after gaining the publics trust by getting the economy back he wants to tour the cou try and educate the electorate on the FairTax.
Now did you know all this or did you just not like him personally so you cook up a lot of unfair criticisms of the man?
