Simplifying the Tax code is very possible and very desirable, one of the first things we should do is go gut all the loop holes that allow rich people to abuse tax havens, and make it easier for businesses to do a one stop registry. The tax code as applied to any business should be and could be simple enough to fit on a note card, there's no reason for the jungle of legalees written by bankers for the rich that we currently have.
But a Flat Tax is a TERRIBLE idea, we need Income Based Taxation!
A family with an annual income of about 90k should be able to deduct 100% of the costs of living and raising children. After all of life's expenses, that 90k is closer to about 30k for tax purposes. If Perry's plan allows for that, I'm 100% on board, baby!!!
Maddow is an ungrateful bitch! Keith Olbermann was treated like shit by msnbc after comcast bought the company and Madcow (who owes everything to Olbermann--- he got her the job and the prime timeslot!) just sat there and sided with the new rightwingnut bosses! She's now nothing more than a hack!
Republican fuckwits - what have they done since taking over the House? Attacked Planned Parenthood over imaginary taxpayer money on abortions and passed a resolution declaring that the sun shines out of Reagan's dead arse. Yeah, go ahead, elect one of these hypocritical nutbags so you can reap the reward of your stupidity.
i'm a libertarian and I hate the idea of a flat tax.
It's nonsense. It ignores our current obligations. It increases taxes on people who already don't have much money to spend. It gives more money to people who are already seeing more money than they've ever seen
Cain knows the masses are stupid. His contempt for people's intelligence disgusts me. The 9-9-9 thing is just an idiotic thing he knows IDIOTS can remember. "The black one will lower my income tax to 9%" is all he think he needs
@chronDiggity I'm a liberal, not a libertarian, but I agree with you completely on this point. The wealth gap in the U.S. is far-and-away the worst in the post-industrial world. And it's getting worse. There has been class warfare going on since the Reagan era, only it was the rich who were waging it. Republicans say they like the flat tax because it's 'fair.' That's unbelievably stupid.
Yeah, and they then accuse everyone ELSE of class warfare.
They do this with lots of different things; They accuse others of doing what they themselves are guilty of so that when inevitably someone points out that THEY are doing it, it sounds like it's political bickering since both sides are claiming the same thing. Just look at global warming: They claim scientists try to scare everyone into believing global warming, then they use fear (of a carbon tax) to claim it's a hoax!
Sad. With a large single deduction (say $30k/person), it would be an equitable system. Now that Rick Perry has endorsed it, I can't handle it. Still, the IRS code really sucks. Tax credits are a scourge used by the affluent.
9-9-9... flat tax... really? What are the corporations going to get taxed? 9%? The same as an individual? Really, that would save corporations BILLIONS. Current US Corporations tax is at like 37% (correct me please if I am wrong). And let's just use this 9-9-9 BS. Right... let's let a multibillion dollar company like BP, or Walmart, or BofA, or.... etc.... save 2/10ths more of their net worth per year. And let's not forget BofA hasn't paid ANY taxes in two years, and infact made PROFIT!
Herman Cain = 9 9 9 plan. Mean-spirited right-wing assholes LOVE it, even though it will mean their taxes go up. If the unemployed and poor have to pay more in taxes, COUNT THEM IN!!!!!!!!!!
can you imagine living in a country where every transaction is documented and correlated with your bank acct. with a corresponding link to every big brother institution imaginable, able to chart and cross reference your every move. If you think that this will not facilitate the cashless society I think you are deluding yourself. Can we stop it ? probably not . Is it evil ? , what do you think. Things are not looking good folks. take care , good luck. stay strong. peace
If you are poor, old, gay, unemployed, belong to a union (a teacher, civil servant, Postal Worker, police, or fireman) a woman using birth control, working a dangerous job that relies on gov regs for safety, if you want to protect the environment, are sick without health insur, a student trying to pay tuition, Islamic, Mormon, black, or Hispanic--the GOP is your enemy. It’s un-American, an alien invader killing this great nation with a narrow minded, pro-corporate deluge of greed & hate.
@torr59622 Cain's electric fence to kill Mexicans, GOP'S passing laws inhibiting use of Spanish in public institutions, blocking ANY effort to pass ANY policy regulating illegal immigration, denying illegals care in hospital EMERGENCY rooms, denyIing kids born in the USA citizenship if parents are illegal, passing laws to make it difficult for minorities to register to vote, requiring police to check birth certificates at traffic stops, bigotry against Catholics, representing SP as criminals.
With all due respect ,you're reaching-Cain could never implement that, our country is English first anyway, illegals and their kids dont get denied in my state, a majority of kids of illegals ARE citizens (70% in WSJ), police cant check anything here in PA,DE or NJ but your license. Catholic bigotry? Where it exists I wouldnt say it was tailored for Hispanics only. Its really tough to umbrella all Hispanics together too-Cubans in Florida do not have the same political agenda as Cali Mexicans.
@torr59622 The laws may not have been passed in your state (yet), but the fact that the GOP has passed them in other states or is trying to, demonstrates their attitude towards minorities. Look at the State of Michigan, for instance, where the GOP Governor has passed an "EMERGENCY" law that gives him the power to dissolve local municipalities, confiscate their land, fire ELECTED officials, & install a dictator answerable ONLY to himself not the people. It hasn't hit you yet, but it's coming
Nah, thats paranoia and I dont buy it. NJ is a democratic stronghold, and it would never fly in Phila or DE. But I will say the issues over here dont match the issues that could be going on in Ariz, Cal or NMex. So if your from there, I see the possible fears. But it would NEVER happen here.
@Jack194343 Remember to watch when using words like "minorities" or "Hispanic" when making your points-the mainstream media constantly fucks this up. Minorities include Asians, and 'Hispanic" can include about 20 diff. ethnicities, all with sometimes conflicting idealogy. A Puerto Rican in NY could care less about Mexican immigration in California. A white collar Argentinian doesnt have the same agenda as a gardner from Hondoras. I would be more specfic, lest u alienate the wrong people.
@scw3967 I make $17,220 a year and i am voting GOP fuck you liberals who just want to punish the successful AND FOR WHAT? You fucks are the reason why poverty exists, you jackass fucktard. I hatel iberalism WE NEED A FLAT TAX!!1!!!!!
@Scattnam Why do 50% of youtube political comments consist of vulgarity, stupid personal attacks, and incoherent arguments? Why do the people who post these comments seem to lack a basic knowledge of the English language, behave irrationally, and adhere to some abstract concept of how the world should work? By posting this comment, you are in the same league as the narrow-minded leftists who troll around the internet blaming rich people, corporations, and capitalism for all of humanity's woes.

My statement about Michigan does not involve Hispanics, but it does target all Americans. Do an Internet search:
The Benton Harbor Trend: African Americans Targeted By Rick Snyder

How Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is quietly and intentionally creating more Benton Harbors
This is the GOP plan for the USA, drive it into the ground, declare an emergency, & turn it into a corporation.
