Every day, in oh so many ways, Carson proves that he is not ready for prime time and has no business being looked on as a serious presidential candidate. Running for office on the promise to raise taxes for half the people in the country is not the way to win.

He should run instead on a platform of more taxes upon the rich and middle class.

That half the population wasn't going to vote for him anyway...

Forgetting about who is running for what. . .it seems only right that everyone who benefits from our great country has some skin in the game. Even if just a penny. I think I saw a statistic on Drudge that 1 in 5 families have someone working in the household. . . .not much return there. If they can’t come up with the cash. . .how about some volunteer work. . .cleaning up beer cans and cigarette butts and trash around their dwellings. . .Just sayin. By the way I am all for helping people in need but this country has gone wacko.

Great brain surgeon (or not) but that’s about the end of the line. Obviously clueless about the everyday world most of us live in.

I like Ben but agree that he is not ready for prime time.

Carson just lost the black and Hispanic vote right there. For the most part they don’t seem to pay into the system like their white counterparts do. Carson might as well drop any illusions of running for the WH

Don't want him for president, but it is also a bit naive to insinuate that his tax plan is bad because it's fair. That's a big concession to the Left and the "progressive" tax system we have today - it's probably a bigger welfare scam than all the other welfare scams combined.
