if you read my older posts, you will see that i enthusiastically supported him when he was not well known and polling at 4 percent. now that he rolled out an economic plan and is polling at 25%+, so im thrilled even more.

his life story of rising from discrimination and empowering himself to become successful is heroic, in my opinion.

moreover, i like his 9-9-9 plan because it is balanced.

large income tax , no sales tax =
drug dealers paying no taxes. government getting no revenue from people who refuse to work but may be rich under the books. people wont get jobs and they will work under the books.

large sales tax, no income tax =
people wont buy items from stores. they will simply buy used items from garage sale, so less revenue.

9 percent on either side alone isnt punitive enough to result in either outcome.

whereas a 23-0 or 0-23 is.

I like his position that he is 100% pro-life except that government should not legislate it.

Folks in states that already have a sales tax would be looking at a 15-20% tax on everything they buy. No, thank you.

the supposition is that since your income tax rate would be $9 that it would even out, but only a simpleton would believe this.

lucky for herman, the republican party has cornered the market on simpletons.

You do realize the sales tax is only for new items, like a brand new car, while if you buy a used car there is no sales tax.

Does this "no-tax" apply to used gasoline also??? Or, is there no tax on new gasoline if I only use it in an old used car???

His personal private opinion on abortion is irrelevant.

It has been proven that Herman Cain is the long-awaited Anti-Christ.

The Rapture cannot be far behind.

How many cars have you purchased?

I am fairly certain that i have paid a sales tax for each of the 4 used cars i have purchased so far in my life.

Or are you just explaining how the $9.99 pizza deal is more complex?

Oh I get it, the penalization of buying a new car would be exactly what Detroit needs.

If Obama met the anti-Christ, he'd get down on his knees and open wide.

If Cain runs I think I will vote fore him. I would love to raise a little Cain with the System.
