PJ News Break: Cain Explains the 9-9-9 Plan While Union Bosses Cheer Obama

[TheCaliCapitalist]

9-9-9 is a joke plan that even Herman Cain cant explain and has yet to expose which economist he has work with to come up with those numbers. Even Fox is questioning this guy. 9-9-9 appeals to the simplest of voters who are just looking for an easy answer.

[3martijns]

Yes, One Israeli is Worth More thanThousands of Evil Hamas things.

[zvi303]

@3martijns Unfortunately, some of those thugs, male and female, are likely to kill again. Plus we have given Hamas encouragement to capture more, and told terrorists that there is no price to be paid. So while I am not against the deal - thank heaven he is home - it should be clear that this a great victory for terror. (Sometimes you have to retreat.)

If only my fellow countrymen would drop their opposition to the death penalty.....

[3martijns]

@zvi303 Understood, but I do Not understand why there are so Many in Israel who have the Same ideas as Democrats in USA. I was told by an Israeli here that it is like Stockholm Syndrome, such as 'We will be nice to Hamas so maybe they will be nice to us'. Sounds really Naive and Dumb to Most.

See videos of Evan Sayet, Jewish comedian, for explanations with Hilarity. But still Not logical to me.

[KenMacMillan]

999 is a scam.

[uga68dawg]

The Union goons have about 15 months to enjoy their "benefits" thanks to their puppet-master, Hack Obama.........................­.

[pfucku]

@futuresonex:

You obviously do not have a good grasp of the way the Israeli military works. (I do first hand). It is the knowledge that your government will trade one thousand (or more) pieces of sh#t Arabs for one of you and will not stop, even for FIVE years to free you ar even recover your body that makes them so strong.

And any "half-price" comment refers to being cheap as well, so I'd like to see a "P.C." heartfelt apology from Mr. Ott, going on the record that this was not his intention.

[zvi303]

@pfucku Well, rather obviously he meant that Gilead (hard-G, Scott, like "balm in Geilead") was worth a lot more than that, so i don't see a need for an apology.

Meanwhile, a number of other prisioners from Baumel to Arad are unaccounted for. I was not in the army (too old), but I did meet a parent of one of the others, and he did NOT think that any price should be paid. So while we rejoice at the release, we worry that it will be paid for in blood, heaven forbid.

[ZombieX13]

Cain is a Fed insider and a liar.

[pfucku]

@XCritonX :

as a VERY experienced Businessman, Cain understands the concept of "unintended consequences" WAAAAY more than 99% of the people out there, including you, although I (and Steve Forbes) definitely agree with you on the flat tax, which also encourages saving.

[Kris246zl]

Yeah... I gave up on Bachmann when I got her email against Cain.

[XCritonX]

Mr Cain is naive and does not understand the principle of "unintended consequences". 3 different taxes is 3x the cost of collection. The first 7% just covers the cost of collection. Businesses taxes are paid by employees and share holders. A simple flat tax with no deductions on all personal earnings (including earnings from investments) of say 20% would be cheaper to collect and much more effective.

Also, sales tax is evil stuff, 9% is just the start, it will be the 20% before you know it.

[ObiWanShinobi1]

Beer hall what?

[ScrappleFace]

@pfucku the "half-price" comment was meant to imply the relative value of Shalit versus Palestinian terrorists...nothing more.

[Shargrailar]

"Obsolete media". The best description I have ever heard of todays state of 'journalism".

[StopFear]

You have very few choices America. A sneaky pro-abortion Mormon, a crazy Marxist, and Ron Paul.

[bobbytiger]

@StopFear

I don't have a problem with the choices above.

I'll support the person who does not believe in the killing, (err...."abortion), of unborn children.

[Thastorcyclone]

Love what ur doing here :)

[ScrappleFace]

@Thastorcyclone Thank you. -- Scott Ott

[red5llaw]

9-9-9 Fair?

What about the States that DO NOT have a state Tax? from 0 - 9% tax! ouch!

Nope Cain is a good Boss but not the man to run the Country.

[Shargrailar]

@red5llaw You are forgetting your income tax comes down to 9% giving you a big raise.

[StopFear]

Ok, well even despite PJmedias unexplained dislike of Ron Paul I think it is clear that the whole Republican primary is about Ron Paul. Also some said that Bachmann is out because she mentions evangelical things, well you're probably unaware about the crazy Mormon things behind Romney and Huntsman.

[asphyxiafeeling]

@StopFear

Ron Paul is being rejected by his own party in spades. (polling at 10% or so)

PJTV is a conservative-leaning (NOT LIBERTARIAN) network, so no surprise they don't give a hoot about 3rd/4th place candidate Ron Paul.

[StopFear]

@asphyxiafeeling

Sure, he is rejected by his own party, you may as well say that Republican party already chose whom they want. If you want to contrast PJTV as conservative to supposedly non-conservative Ron Paul you could not be more wrong. I used think that Ron Paul was left of center Libertarian, but he is not. If you check his voting record he is the only true "Pro-Life" candidate who voted against all pro-abortion bills. His records shows he voted against big government every time.

[PoliticallyBlazed]

Bachmann is done. She'll fall out of the race soon enough, and thank God for THAT!

[Loveschuck87]

Fire 'em all, and start fresh with new people under the same constitution i say! We need Americans NOT politicians to run our gov't.they have but one job, protect our rights, liberties, freedoms, and do ONLY OUR BIDDING!!! We the people rule!!! To hell with their so called opinions!

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Notice when any politician is against a simple, easy to understand tax code that is fair for everyone, where everyone pays their fair share and they actually defend the current cluster fuck of a tax code, you know that politician wants to use the tax code to promote favorites and punish others... class warfare.

[pfucku]

That "half-price" comment was pretty anti-Semitic, Scott. You lost me on that one.

[futuresonex]

@pfucku How did you get anti-Semitism out of that? He was criticizing the very poor deal of trading more than 1000 violent terrorists for one man. and I agree with him. It was stupid! I'm very glad that the Israeli soldier is home, but how many other Israelis will be be killed or captured by the 1,027 terrorists that Israel set free?!? This is one of Israel's biggest problems. They are ALWAYS way too easy on the Palestinian terrorists. The more Israel gives them, the more they try to take!

[TheFederalistVoice]

I must admit, the more I listen and watch to Herman Cain, the more I start to sympathize with him. I also like the slogan "Is Cain Abel?" I'm watching Cain more closely now.

[DavidsIllustrations]

this episode was the best so far

[ScrappleFace]

@DavidsIllustrations Thank you. -- Scott Ott

[SLILitchfield]

Why do people have to say "...Carl Levin, of Michigan..." Don't you think we suffer enough having him, without y'all reminding us?

[thedailydigestorg]

Another great presentation with just a bit of sarcasm in all the right places.

[swim2win86]

hysterical!

[ScrappleFace]

@swim2win86 I appreciate the encouragement. -- Scott Ott

[cozyfoxstudio]

Sorry Ott, comedy is not your thing. Hire the chick from news busted.

[solidsound]

this is what the news should sound like

[ScrappleFace]

@solidsound Thank you. -- Scott Ott

[jag10]

Paying a national sales to government will grow government, contract the economy, and empower the criminal class even more.

Cain is DOA to any free thinking person who understands that his 666 plan pays tribute to the central banking cartel who creates most of the problems which face our economy.

Cain is a traitor to all Republicans, and possibly to his country.

Audit the Federal Reserve.

Legislate the end of the private corporate banking cartel (FED) who issues our currency and credit.

[terryweb]

@jag10 Man you wrong paul zombies never stop, do you? Craving for some brains?

[thedailydigestorg]

@terryweb Do you have ANY counter to what has been said, or are you just here to antagonize?

[terryweb]

Fuck you and your fucking grumpy old fake eyebrows wearing racist moron.

[thedailydigestorg]

@terryweb <--- Aw, now who's the racist? Who's the racist????

[terryweb]

@thedailydigestorg Wrong Paul is a racist senile old grumpy mouse fart who accepts white supremacists donations and who wrote racist newsletters, who's a 9/11 truther, who loves Alex Jones the crazy lunatic morons... I can go on and on, but you'll deny everything because you have you head so deep in his conspiracy theories. I guess I can call you a Wrong Paul anus insider.

[thedailydigestorg]

@terryweb You made a lot of conclusive statements, but you make no statement as to why you think so. And by the way, filthy language does not make you seem more intelligent, mature, and does not make your point.

Why do you think he is senile? Who has donated to him that is "supermacist"? You have included so many attempts at insults, that I won't list them all, but if you are trying to make a point, you have only succeeded in sounding ridiculous and without merit.

[terryweb]

@thedailydigestorg Excuse my French, but Ron Paul supporters are the most desperate idiots I have ever seen in my life. I listed things about Ron Paul to show that nobody is perfect. RP supporters keep attacking EVERY SINGLE presidential candidate, bombarding their fan pages on Facebook and what not. Do you really think that it makes RP look good and not desperate? He will never become President because of his age and his extreme views. I see him as a great Secretary of Treasury though.

[thedailydigestorg]

@terryweb Actually, although I disagree with you, at least now I understand a bit more of you point.

To put a finer point on it, I have not found anyone that I like better than Paul. I am not desperate, nor am I an idiot. I am a degreed engineer that, in my second career, and half-owner of a law office. I do a lot of research in my career, and have done a lot on all the candidates. Paul has a good shot with a large percentage of the public.

Guess I don't fit your mold.

[terryweb]

@thedailydigestorg If you are not one of those crazies, then my comment was not directed at you and I apologize if you felt attacked. While I also disagree with you, I understand and respect your point of views. I think Paul has a good shot against some RINOs such as Perry/Romney/Huntsman or not so bright such as Bachmann and Santorum . I wish that a big part of RP supporter base would stop trying to shove their views down other people's throat which goes against what they defend: Freedom.

[wormer104]

@terryweb I don't think he does since he's just like the other RINOs.

The only conservative vein Paul has is in economics (barely) and many democrats can boast that.

[IRISHBUDDAFILTH]

@terryweb I'm a desperate idiot?Who in the hell do you think you are?

[terryweb]

@IRISHBUDDAFILTH How dare I, huh? I'm a puppet neocons from the bilderberg sheeple group who loves the fed and who needs to wake up for the revolution. There, I spare you some repetitive non-sense attack you guys love to do.

[IRISHBUDDAFILTH]

@terryweb you got the wrong Ron Paul supporter!!! Not all Ron Paul supportes are like that.Granted there are assholes in any group.I like some of the things Alex Jones says but thinks he is full of shit on other things.So grouping everybody into one group is assonine.its stereotyping!!!!

[ncflyer1000]

@jag10 Lol, wow. Take your meds dude.

[jag10]

@ncflyer1000

Sorry, excuse the interruption, please continue with your scheduled programming.

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Fast&Furious", and the premier of "Iran Terror Plot, the Chronicles of Narnia".

[TheCaliCapitalist]

Nobody is willing to pay a 9% sales tax.

[MrConservative608]

@TheCaliCapitalist We need to encourage investing and discourage spending. Herman Cain might not understand this just as GWB didn't, but spending does not stimulate the economy (since they both supported the first TARP). I am a Cain supporter but he is wrong on TARP. Cain, however, is for eliminating the capital gains tax.

9% sales tax most likely discourage spending but I believe as Dave Ramsey does to live like no one else so later, you can live like no one else.

watch?v=D9kfMx8Llcc

[TheHortond]

@TheCaliCapitalist

I pay 8.4% now. With a few more taxes added onto it. Then the hidden taxes that are put into the base price that I am taxed on by percentage listed earlier. If 9% is all that people were required to pay as a sales tax I don't see anyone wanting to do it... in the tax collectors office.

[wormer104]

@TheCaliCapitalist Even if it gets rid of a great many other taxes in exchange?

Look up Cain's website and look at Phase 1 of his 9-9-9 plan. He tosses a lot of other taxes out in addition to adding the 9% sales tax.

[jrc99us]

Very funny!
