I’m 100% behind Cain. He isn’t perfect but I love his straight talk. He talks without the filters on and some think that is a fault. I don’t I believe that is why he is still holding strong in the polls. There is a hunger for a real straight talking man who isn’t a part of big Wallstreet or Big Washington DC. Cain is his own man and he is a survivor. He’s put forth a tax reform plan supported by Laffer and Ryan as bold while others were coy about it. The last debate it was very clear that Santorum, Bachmann, Romney, and Gingrinch aren’t worried one bit about tax reform which is a key component to reigning in the size of government.

Instead they want more tax cuts which is fine but if you don’t really cut govt as both Paul, Cain, and Perry’s plans would require its all for naught.

Cain is the perfect opponent for a match between the son of slaves and the son of paradise who would be right up there with OWS if he were 20 right now. Cain’s story is the story of the American dream. That by working hard and smart you can far exceed all expectations. Obama didn’t have a father but he got special consideration to get into Harvard because of him, he went to private school in Hawaii. That is a perfect contrast. The man with the blood of slaves in his veins and the man whose ancestors sold their own race into slavery in Kenya. A very interesting contrast.

It’s easy as 1-2-3 to understand Mr. 9-9-9 on abortion. He opposes government funding of abortion and will veto any legislation that contains funds for Planned Parenthood. He’s against abortion even in cases of rape or incest. You won’t get much better than that.

Defunding the social engineering by politicians, works for me..

I was talking about who gets to administer the zones, monitor them, decide when they can’t be a zone anymore, process applications for zones, decide the criteria for a zone etc

This will require a bureaucracy. All for the purpose of moving our jobs to the inner cities, pathetic.

Plus a national sales tax is another weapon in the federal arsenal.

No new taxes!

Simply cut income and corporate taxes, etc, to 19%. No muss no fuss, turn the whole country into an opportunity zone.

How is me supporting a simple flat tax instead of a complicated maze being taken in by the MSM? I think Cain is the best candidate but this 999/909 plan and opportunity zone nonsense is pathetic crap.

I, too, am for Cain due to the person he is. His plan does have some kinks, and i’m not sure that he really has ZIP in terms of foreign policy experience, but I have NO doubt he will surround himself with plenty who do — and he’ll intelligently sort out their advice.

I think he also DOES have what it takes to pass his 999 plan, or some version of it, in Congress. I have great hope for that.

He’s just the type of person we need. Straight talking, honest, comfortable in his own skin, and HUMBLE.

Sarah is not running and Fred is pushing the idea of doing away with the Electoral College.

The income tax started out as a flat tax. Oddly, for nearly 150 we got along fine without taxing production. I like you, so I’ll be as polite as I can in responding. ANY income tax is stupid, an abomination, and was never intended for our people by our Founding Fathers. NO INCOME TAX IS ACCEPTABLE. EVER.

I just wished he would dump the insane 999/909/9.19.19.1 plan and opportunity zone crap and embrace a simple flat tax that will make the whole country into an opportunity zone without new bureaucracies and new forms of taxes.

A vote for Perry is a vote for Romney.

I am against all taxes.

So you want an income tax plus a new sales tax? Plus special favors for the inner cities to attract your job to go there? All of which will require new bureaucracies to administer.

And none of them won because the Establishment pushed John McCain on us, spiced up with Sarah Palin. Old Juan has been making himself quite apparent lately, are we going to let them do it to us again? NO! Herman Cain is the worst nightmare to the Commies in power. Let us stay with him until he sits in the oval office to repair his country. To help his campaign please write your most generous checks and send them to:

Herman Cain, In.
Friends of Herman Cain, Inc.
P.O. Box 2158
Stockbridge, Georgia 30281

And vote for Herman Cain! Thank you so much.

“I think Cain is the best candidate but this 999/909 plan and opportunity zone nonsense is pathetic crap.”

I agree with you. I like Cain (I like lots of people), but I HATE 9-9-9. He unequivocally stated that the 9-9-9 was an attempt to unite FairTaxers with Flat Taxers. The only thing it unites is what both diametrically oppose into one, and will not work (Which is why about a month after coming up with 9-9-9, he made Phase 2 of 9-9-9 the FairTax, which he originally supported as stated in the first debate, pre-9-9-9). Not a single person running is perfect, and I encourage you to vote for whoever you think would be best for president.

Don’t get caught up with the “Pick your pony-strap on your blinders” crowd. I don’t like their leftists tactics when they support a candidate I don’t like, and I certainly don’t like it when they use those same tactics to support a candidate I DO like. But you need to seriously rethink your position on a flat income tax, because any and all taxes on labor are a part of the problem, not the solution.
