Anyone catch this last night? Thoughts?
Unfortunately, I didn't see it. A lot of people are saying Perry pretty much stepped all over Rick Jr, though. And, from all the attacks inbound on Cain, I'd say he's definitely a contender now who has a lot of people worried.
This is starting to look like 2008 all over again. No really strong Republican contender.
Saw it on YouTube.
Cain MUST show potential voters on 9%sales tax will actually reduce real spending from eliminating hidding taxes.
It just sounds weird to see 9% sales tax on top of state sales tax.
Regressive tax it is, but some potential voters would like to see how it will reduce the all around tax paid by middle class (or low income).
I like the idea of no capital gains tax.
People really do not understand how much tax they currently pay. The average American actually pays 54% of their income in taxes. Usually a good has been taxed three to five times ( direct or indirectly) before it even reaches the end consumer. Add to this income, property and a host of others and the end result is astounding. For any of these new plans to work there has to be tons of cutting of government spending and jobs. When I see a 9/9/9/15 plan where the 15 is a percentage cut in spending per year I will begin to believe it has a snowballs chance in hell, from a financial standpoint at least.
Turn it around and it's not 999 but 666. LMAO. Politicians will only say what your want to hear and when they get into office they do the opposite.
I guess that is why I am not a political person :-(
