Quote from dumb_mother:

it's amazing how hard it is for the 50% of people in america who do not pay taxes to even imagine the fact that they might have to pay taxes for all of the benefits they get. it would make me laugh if i wasn't part of the other 50% that actually does pay taxes and views the other half as freeloaders.

they pay social security tax and medicare and that's about all the benefit most people get. True, they don't pay for the benefit they get from the war in Afghanistan or periodic cleaning of Mt. Rushmore. Of the 47% who don't make enough to pay income taxes, only a small minority get any government assistance.

not correct- or should i say "WRONG"

cain cuts all federal employment taxes to 0%- learn to read my red-headed step-child

if your state taxes you.. well that's apples to oranges- learn your fruits in that case

You said 50% don't pay taxes, you were wrong, they pay payroll taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes etc. Apology is accepted sir.

Quote from BSAM:

What trader, in his right mind, could possibly be against Herman Cain???

You're confusing criticism of the claims for the plan with criticism of the plan itself. I'm not against the plan - implement it or not, I really don't care.

I am however very sure the plan will not accomplish any of its stated goals - so what I am "against" is the Cain marketing plan that you (among others) have been suckered by.
