The creation of a new entitlement of empowerment zone is not a conservative value. People are not reading his plan.

The perrywinkles like the cronyism of the current tax structure, do not wish to disturb the size and power of government with a flat tax. If any of you people are interested, Neal boortz is the author.

Don’t tell your friends here. They don’t think it is a joke. They have been defending it on another thread for hours. They are going to be mighty upset when they find out they are not getting their electric fence and Cain was only joking.

No. It is called lower the taxes and CUT the spending. Create more tax payers BY MAKING MORE JOBS!! Gees what a concept! This gimmicky 999 with a national sales tax and empowerment zones is sticky red tape with more rules and regulations.. What kind of forms, people and resources are going to be needed for this national sales tax?? Crazy. NO THANKS CAIN=PAIN!

Looks like you like the cronyism of a national sales tax. Please explain how that is going to be handled smoothly with LESS government. A CONSERVATIVE VALUE.

Apparently Liberals don't have a sense of humor.

No, they really don't. What they consider to be humor, normal people would consider to be course vulgarity.

Here is a snapshot of the candidate’s immigration policies.

As far as I can tell ‘unhelpful’ means that they haven’t stated or demonstrated a position.

Perry defends in-state tuition for illegals

There are differences.

Ok. The only part that is a joke is the alligator/moat part. The electric fence is for real. Google it

Its temporary to setup a smooth transition to full implementation of the FairTax.

I don't beleive that would ever happen. Once the DC crowd has both a sales and income tax, they will never get rid of either one. The ONLY practical way to replace all our other taxes with a sales tax is to do it all at once in a single bill. Once the income tax, the tax code, and the mechanism to enforce it is gone, and we are actually running without one, then it would be fairly easy to get a consitutional ammendment to prevent a new income tax.

We'll be lucky if we ever get a chance to radically change the tax structure in this country. We better get it right the first time, because it will probably take another 100 years to do it again.

It is really a shame he keeps touting that stupid plan which will never even get a hearing (and doesn’t deserve one). Every time I start warming up to the guy he starts again with Revolution No 9 “number nine, number nine, number nine ...”

Now dig deep! I lost a full week of my life researching Cain before I decided to support him. It took me less than 5 minutes to answer your question for you.

And I AVOIDED all of the articles that were doing nothing more than slamming the ‘heartless’ comment or bashing in-state tuition.

You can filter through all of this stuff as well as i can and find the truth.

Reagan and Kemp promoted empowerment zones (otherwise known as Enterprise zones).
