>>>>>>He is a hero around here because most of the voters here are as stupid as he is.

I see. Texans are stupid. Sorry, "Super Chief". Not buying that pathetic BS, not by a long shot.

>>>>>Perry...??? The guy is not ready for prime time.

That is why we have campaigns, debates and elections. Perry has won three elections for Governor. Oh, thats right, Texans are stupid.

Pure tripe!

I could give you a hundred quotes from people like say, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Nikki Haley, Bobby Jindal who have much respect for Perry.

Oh Cain said he was American first, Black second, Conservative 3rd. That would make sense since he said empowerment zones deserve lower tax rates because they are predominately black and poor. His words not mine.

Unfortunately some Texas big donors have filled Dim Rick’s campaign coffers, so he’ll be around for awhile longer. At least long enough to run some slick TV ads that give the illusion he can actually think and speak.

“So once again, Herman Cain said what he was FOR while everybody else was just saying what they were against, and now we’re finally hearing what the others are for.”

Amen!

Last week, my trophy wife was asking me why I was for Cain after Palin dropped out.

Besides his many good qualities, I said that his 999 plan would force a discussion of the merits/value of a flat tax.

We discussed the hours that I waste each year collecting pieces of paper which represent tax deductions. Then organizing them in Feb/Mar the next year to run spread sheets to total the deductions.

She laughed at how I take over her dining room table to pile the cr$ap up in piles, then list them on a sheet of paper for each pile to do a spread sheet. She gets away during this “fun” time in my life.

Then, I take the spreadsheets and enter their totals into the yearly forms from our CPA. Then, we take the package down to the CPA, and he does the yearly tax BS and sends us a fair size 3 figure bill for submitting my data/work. Then, we write checks if we owe the Feds or California. If there is a refund, we apply it to the next year.

In the meantime, starting in Jan each year I start our new folder to hold that year’s deductions. Each year the folder expands to about an inch thick. That doesn’t include the forms from our IRAs, my wife’s 401k and other financial data re any earnings/income.

We have some friends, who mail each month’s deductions to their CPA and pay about $100 per month for this little freedom. They still have to collect and sort each months bs and mail it to their CPA.

Every liberal, cpa, so called tax expert/preparer and those who sell so called investments based on tax codes will hate any flat tax. A Flat tax would be the end of their meal tickets in this world.

This morning on Fox, Neil had a group discussing the flat tax. Of course Forbes and many others were for it. The left wing female? was in stage III depression and the other male? liberal was screaming as usual.

Flat taxes might be the end of progressive bs politics, and they know it.
