Yes, let’s all get behind Romney./s
I am a Perry supporter convert. I love Cain’s 9-9-9 plan. He has indicated that this is a stepping stone in his plan to implement a fair tax (moving from our current system to a fair tax cannot be completed in a single step, and I agree). I think his plan puts skin in the game from every citizen, which is certainly not the case now. I like it, and I like Cain a little more every day.
I don’t support any new taxes of any kind. Until the income tax is eliminated I would not support a national sales tax. I’m all for a consumption tax as long as there is no tax on income, capital gains or estates.
“But Cain isn’t running on serious policy proposals. The guy knows how to market and pitch an idea; after all, the 9-9-9 plan is easy to remember and the one-liners that he is tossing out are catchy. This may be good for selling pizzas, but not for tax policy. And the lack of seriousness is best exemplified by his campaign, which has no campaign stops in early primary states this month”
Isn’t that the truth. blow some smoke you know where and the sheeple will follow you anywhere. Even off the tax cliff.
Criticizing Cain’s plan does not mean that one should get behind Romney.
As early as mow, we really need a serious discussion of the merits vs the de-merits of Herman Cain’s tax plan and whether it will be good for our economy and our country overall.
Definitely in contention for stupidest post of the year. Hang in there, you might win!
Unfortunately, he’s about our only option opposite Romney. Perry has proven he isn’t ready for primetime and I’m not sure the American people are ready to elect Newt Gingrich as their President. The rest of the candidates don’t have a chance and we should be thankful for that. Santorum and Bachmann are way too self-righteous and grating.
Implementing a VAT tax for the first time is moving toward a fair tax??
I like Herman's moxie I really do, but his 999 Plan is horribly laid out, it is ripe for failure and his "signature black" Beaudreux hat smacks of desperation.
So, how do you fund social security and medicare? They’re going broke now and that’s with contributions of 15.3% (including the matching employer portion). If there is only a 9% income tax that’s supposed to replace social security, or is that on top of the 999?
Sounds like a pizza ad.... Perry is the only person that can stop Romney
Actually, his arguments are probably better than that since he doesn't have to add "this will only apply to the rich".
Still, using my standard simplistic argument format, it would be preferable to repeal the 16th before adding any more taxes on the public for anything.
I agree. NEVER give the Rats a new way to tax without getting some other tax removed in return.
His hat suggests he has lost some hair, so what’s it to you.
“...Sounds like a pizza ad...”

I’ll take the pizza guy.
I am too heartless to support Perry and his coddling of illegal aliens.
He doesn’t say get behind Romney. Vote for Cain if you want, but stop him from implementing the 999 tax. It is simply wrong without eliminating the income tax. Repeal the 16th and then implement 999. A vat is a terrible tax and we would be far worse off than we are now. Cain won’t be President for life and the people after him can do what they want.
Herman's 9% sales tax is NOT a VAT. Go read the article.
