Thread: 9-9-9 becomes 9-0-9 or was it 3-3-3 for the poor.. no broke folk left behind!?

Well if anyone disapproves of Obama and the welfare state they better have a pitch fork at the ready to deal with Cain. He's clearly a witch doctor trying to use magic and the power of numbers to deceive the masses of stupids. I can see how this is going to work after all 3+3+3% based on nothing = nothing.

Herman Cain 9-0-9: Republican candidate tweaks 9-9-9 tax plan

anything involving a national sales tax isn't going to stand up to criticism.

It's better than 9-9-9 but still I question the wisdom in setting the threshold at the poverty level. Why should lower-middle and middle-class working people have to pay more for food either? Two or three times the poverty limit would make more sense and would help ensure it doesn't cripple the economy by putting the squeeze on the struggling working class. Not sure even with that I would fully support it though. It seems unjust to separate things into the investor class who would pay no taxes on capital gains and the working class who is still taxed. It seems a lot like class warfare ont he working man and if I understand it right, would this not help to create an even worse stock market bubble?

You know, in thinking I would be in favor of reducing the corporate tax to 9% for any company which employs at least 90% Americans and has at least 90% of production in America. But you'd have to make sure there was no way to get around the requirements through trickery because if there is you bet they will take advantage. And you'd probably want to do something to help small non-incorporated businesses as well.

I might even support reducing the corporate tax to zero for companies satisfying this 90% rule. I don't see why not if they are employing Americans AND at decent wages.

It's all about helping the banks, the rich and the world elites.. always has been and always will be.

But of course as most Republican bullshit artists like to pretend anyone can become an elite player if they simply work hard like other elite crooks. You don't have to pay people off or pay lobby groups you just have to work really hard. If you do work hard and never make it to elite status then it's obviously your fault for being one of the millions of stupids. Everyone knows you have to be a born prodigy to become successful in a free and open democratic society. And without class warfare there is no incentive to scrub public toilets for peanuts like the average wage slave with little to no self worth.
