Zo, I can't tell you how pissed I am at Cain's staff. I got a link to roger hedgecock's show. Guy worked at the nra and knew both bialek and Cain. She was fired before he was hired.
Damac either you can't spell or you lie. I just tripled checked to ne sure it wasn't pulled and got over a half dozen hits. When questioned by russert about earmarks Paul's answer was 'better congress than the executive office'. Technically true but not the point. You are going to have to do WAY better than that to get me.
Hey Zo, you might want to watch your attacks on Ron Paul. He's one of the few congressman that are actually voting to reduce government's influence on the people. The only way we can reduce government's influence is from the inside out....which is exactly what Dr. Paul is doing.
Don't support this hypocrite Herman Cain plays Race Card everytime he's criticized he's a complete hypocrite he accused Rick Perry of being racist and Cain even called liberals criticizing him is a High Tech Lynching
Condalisa Rice even said Herman Cain is wrong for playing the Race Card and Zo Richel is a fraud who works for Herman Cain Campaign he gets paid to defend Herman Cain Race Baiting Hypocrisy
Ron Paul would be a good president but the main problem with him is he wants to cut all ties with everybody and thats just stupid. But i do agree with him on the fact that we need to shut down a lot of our bases around the world because theres just way to many but when he says he wants to pull out of the korean border thats just plain stupid. Hes an economic genious and is a true representative but i dont that hes an isolationists. HERMAN CAIN FOR PRESIDENT
Zo, I agree with you on a lot of issues but you and the rest of PJTV likes to bash Paul for no reason. The only consistent politician who has advocated for less government, less federal spending, less taxes and no raises. Your argument that less government means less politicians is faulty.

Be the first of PJTV to give Paul a chance.
@r5n -- ROMNEY'S 2012 PLAN CUTS MEDICARE--Ron Paul’s plan cuts $1 trillion the first year & balances the budget in 3 years. The plan cuts spending by ending the costly foreign wars, and cuts foreign welfare, corporate welfare, and overgrown federal bureaucracy. These cuts are made so that those who are dependent on domestic spending programs such as Medicare aren’t endangered through a sudden change in benefits. Romney’s plan cuts Medicare, on which many elderly Americans rely.
Ok I totally agree with what Zo said in the first half of the vid. Up until u said Ron Paul "..should have set that example of limited governemt a long time ago..."
Now that is bullshit because he's been saying that for 30 years and he was running for president in 88 and 08 talking about it. He's been consistent on that.
The you talk about how you agree with Herman's 9-9-9 plan. THE KOCH BROTHER FUNDED HIM TO PUSH THEIR PLAN OF 9-9-9. DID YOU EVEN KNOW THERE IS A FOURTH 9??? (PAYROLL TAX)
So there are 3 possible reasons why Zo is in Favor of Herman Cain
1. Zo is being funded by the Koch Brothers or the media
2. Zo lacks knowledge of taxes AND WHAT IS MEAN TO BE A CONSERVATIVE even though the title 999 plan sounds attractive to him. (no one, not even Zo read the 999 plan)
3. or simply because Herman Cain is black, and zo is a racist.
It's like Le Bon's observations, mobs of people (usually liberals) will use the emotions of people to fuel their energy against an institution or cause that is good for society.
ok, so caine worked for the fed, then he went in the private sector where he continued to be paid by the govt. by working for the US Navy, as Z says. and somehow within all this time he fought with the govt. forces who strangle free enterprises. how? his paycheck was not big enough?
I am liking Herman more and more. That being said, I really don;t think he will get the GOP nomination. I think even if he doesn't I will have to vote for him.

I heard some idiotic comments on NPR while driving to work one morning. Someone was stating the lunacy of adding a 9% tax to everything on top of the taxes we already have......the statement was clipped so obviously some malfeasance was afoot. It just further shows the massive American trend of talking about something you don't understand in the first place.
Zo, RP has never contributed to bigger government. He has never voted to expand it and doesn't even participate in the retirement program. He has a job outside of government. But of course, you knew that already.
The problem with Cain's 999 is that its really a 9999,(doesn't eliminate payroll tax) and by making it flat that raises taxes on the majority of us. I want to cut taxes for the rich, not raises taxes on the poor and middle class.
Ron Paul has been presenting something better for 30 years. Wake up and listen. Then again Zo cannot stand Ron Paul so those words are falling on deaf ears.
@wormer104 Your page lists you as 23, this means you've "heard" about Ron Paul for 5 years. Lets not pretend you've spent a lifetime researching Dr. Paul. lol Tell me, what part of Ron Paul is BS?
@wormer104 Ah I see, you'd prefer our troops to be abroad rather then on our border preventing more killing of our BP agents and citizens. You're right, Afghanistan is more important lol
I was going to give you a thumbs up, then you attacked Ron. He's never been a part of the big government problem. He's never voted to increase government or taxes. He supports repealing the 16th amendment. Your comment is essentially a lie.
Some times you hit the nail right on the head. I'd even say mostly. This time .. you are wrong.
Where did this idiot come from? Telling Ron Paul to do his job? Here is an asshole that knows nothing. Dr Paul has been trying to get rid of the income tax for over 30 years, during which Cain was working for the very banking cartel that sponsored and forced passage of the income tax.
And what makes you think the 999 plan doesn't grow into the 30 30 30 plan? The income tax started as 1% on the richest 1% and look where it is now. Spending is the problem NOT taxes! Cain won't talk about that.
Cain's new website is 999meansjobs(dot)com ... helping people to understand the plan. If people will stop listening to others and actually READ IT, they'll see its a win win situation for all!!!
The government is speed bumps, curbs, parking meters and traffic lights. A successful business man like Herman Cain is a driver who knows how to get from point A to point B in the shortest amout of time at minimal cost, despite the government obstacles.
Government will spend what it takes in. Cain's plan intends to increase revenue by taxing the bottom 50% along with a sales tax, further limiting their purchasing power. If Cains tax reform increases government revenue, then I see that as harmful and not what this economy needs, because either way we would still be taking more money out of the economy. I can understand a national sales tax, but income tax MUST FIRST be abolished.
@groam6666 He only wants people to pay their FAIR share. Just so you know, fair means even. People who pay 0% taxes will always vote for the communist who promises them they will never have to pay taxes. I don't know about you but don't have a smart phone or a big screen TV because I don't get foodstamps or rent subsidies. If I did I could afford a Cadillac.
@Dragdamar Deciding who pays what based on what someone considers "fair" is the wrong attitude to approach this. It's the economy we are talking about. Cain's plan will raise revenue by taxing the poor. Just because he says he will reduce gov spending doesn't mean he will, or that congress will. If you want economic recovery you don't raise taxes on the poor and reduce government spending. Taking more money out of the economy and putting it in gov is the net result of his plan.
@superlucci As Milton Friedman said, "Nirvana is not for this world." I agree. Cain takes money out of the economy by broadening the tax base, which is suppose to help the economy how? Gov will spend what it takes in. I have an alternative, a negative income tax. It only increases revenue, because government welfare and other redistributive programs can be abolished by being rolled into the tax code.Why should the gov tax consumption and the poors income.
@groam6666 Hey, Im for no income or corporate income tax at all, Im for a 15 percent national sales tax.
I would also encourage states to get rid of their income and sales tax, so that everybody gets to keep all of their money, and only pays tax only on what they buy.
Now I like a negative income tax too. Gives everybody like....10000 dollars or something? then once they make a certain amount, since it doesnt destroy incentive to get a job, they actually pay taxes.
@groam6666 - I have tended to agree with the approach you mentioned as long as the person is not allowed to vote when paying no taxes. If you do not contribute, then you take a pass on how other's people money is spent. A high percentage of people move out of "poor" status every year though (and up the income scale), so then I think it (poor pay no taxes at all) is a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.
@superlucci When the Income Tax was created (same year as Federal Reserve), it was manipulated and spiraled out of control in just a few years. It is absolutely correct and okay to assume this plan would too. Obamacare was argued against on the basis, that it has the potential to be a disaster in various ways. Along with several wars like Iraq, that were Rightly Argued against because it would be a "quagmire" like Dick Cheney said in the early 90s.
@fattydomels Once again, you miss the point entirely.
Any tax code can spiral out of control.
I dont care whether you like this plan or not, just dont make garbage excuses like it can have the potential to get worse, when you can say that about everything.
@superlucci Once again? Hahaha you make the point for us, by admitting it can spiral out of control, we say it will. You are trying to deflect the criticism by saying it could be said for anything. No shit, it can, and it will is what the point is.
Zo, Ron Paul has been in govt for a long time, yes, but he has spent that time building a consistent record of standing up for limited government and against congressional overreach. As a congressman, he already does what you claim a president should do. What is it that you have against RP, really? Who pays your salary? If you're going to criticize, that's perfectly fine, but at least get your head on straight so you can make a rational case. "Targeting" analogy? Really??
Cain's 9/9/9 would be rocket fuel for our economy. Everybody comes out with more money in their pockets and more purchasing and/or saving power. It's a win-win.
@ABGAN100 that is where 999 IS going ...it is going to fair , that is why it is called 999 To Fair, but don't be so dumb to think we can unwind 71,000 pages of regulations overnight ... which is why we need a INTERIM tax system that provides relief , while moving to the Fair tax... and still generating revenue so the in-debet-ed government can still pay the bills...BUT we have to change it over EFFECTIVELY . thus 999
I need some clarification. If a white guy prefers a white candidate over a black one he's a racist. If a Black man prefers a white candidate over a black man he's an "Uncle Tom"..am I right so far? OK, well I'm a white guy that likes Cain (a black man)....so what does that make me? A whigger???
@ThePhalseProfit I don't normally respond when I read comments but that was funny. You also left out that if you are black and you do not vote for a black candidate you are also considered a Uncle Tom. Seeing as I am black and I didn't vote for Obama an Uncle Tom is who I am! lol
We need to keep pushing for Cain. His plan is the only one out there that is close to a full reform of the tax system. It is very early and he can lose his lead. If you want a candidate that will fight for everyone and our way of life, vote outside DC. Cain 2012!
Ooh, ooh, I know, I know, I know!!! I know why! Peter Schiff recently pointed out that here's a FOURTH 9 hidden in there somewhere. Oh, oh yeah, -- on a side note -- your synopsis of Herman Cain constantly fighting the battle against government as a businessman was stellar, but what about his accomplishments as Deputy Chairman and then Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank??? Zo, could you please tell us about that???
Zo. I love your show, and, I'm sorry, but, you're wrong. The gov't can take life, liberty, and property away from you - as long as they provide due process of law. It's in the 5th and 14th amendment. I'll prove it to you: what's more important to you? Property or Liberty? Liberty, right? It's more fundamental. But, under your scheme, if they can't take property, then they can't take liberty - which means they can't put folks in jail for committing a criminal act. Untenable.
Cains 9-9-9 plan will raise taxes on the poor. The whole point of this plan is to raise government revenue, which it does, so do we really want the government to take more money from the economy and spend it on entitlements. If we put politicians in a position where they have more money to spend, it doesen't matter if Cain would reduce spending, because it's up to congress first of all, and who knows what another administration would do. Cain is more of the same only packaged differently.
Herman Cain is awesome. I am all for a flat tax. If you make twice as much, you should pay twice as much, and not a penny more. Plus it gets the 47% of freeloaders that don't pay income tax now to pay their fair share.
Of course a benefit of a flat tax that most people don't realize is we are all in the same tax bracket. I want lower taxes, but in order to get that I have to help everyone else lower their taxes too. If everyone wants to pay less, government spending gets cut really quickly.
Aside from the payroll, state, property and sales taxes that those "freeloaders" DO pay, the reason they don't have to pay federal taxes is pretty simple.
The HIGHEST income earners in the bottom 47% only make 20k a year. Altogether, the 47% control a whopping 2% of the country's wealth.
Its brilliant how the media's manipulated you to think putting taxes on the wealthy back to where they used to be is a bad idea so we should raise them on those that can least afford it instead...
@yeebuddeh1 the top 10% pay 70% of the federal taxes property and sales taxes are state taxes NOT federal taxes the federal government doesn't get one penny form sales and property tax, and payroll taxes are payed by business owners not persons earning 20k a year! yes the brilliant media have manipulated people but people like yourself into thinking that your entitled to the earnings of those who make more than you!
@yeebuddeh1 How much they make is irrelevant. If they earn 2% of the country's wealth, they should pay 2% of the overall taxes. I am not saying everyone should pay a certain dollar amount, but everyone should pay the same percentage. If you half as much, you should pay half as much, but you still need to pay. They claim the wealthy should pay their fair share, but they have no skin in the game. The top 1% already pay 38% of taxes. It is time the bottom 47% pay their fair share too.
One issue with a flat tax is that it can't be simple. For example; I live abroad; if I pay to two countries, I have very little left - not to mention the tax treaty between the country I live in and the U.S. Similarly, farmers and businessmen will still have complications, as you are taxing income, not revenue, so expenses get deducted. Not that I oppose a flat tax; I'm just pointing out the issue.
You can't open the door to a national sales tax without FIRST closing the door on the income tax completely. Having both just gives the potential for opening both doors wider later.
The INTENT is irrelevant. The GOAL is meaningless. If you institute a nationwide federal sales tax, that tax can (and probably will) be raised, manipulated, etc... meanwhile, there is no guarantee the income tax will ever be repealed. It's like saying you have to take a step backward to move forward.
@eagleeye1975 well we are talking about taxes and they can never be fully equitable or without possible "tinkering". What I would like to get in the "Fair Tax" is the immediate reaction to what people pay on a day to day basis. If you go buy milk and its $3.50 one week, and next week it $4.50, people will be more willing to speak up (at least that's the way it seems). Again, taxes are sticky. There is a bad way, and a less bad way. I'm just wanting a less bad way.
omg a black man supporting a black man, if i was a liberal i would say it was racism because how could a person support a man because of his ideology and character alone.
I think people near the bottom of the tax bracket (where I am) hate 9-9-9 because the current tax load is primarily shouldered by people in the top tax brackets. I believe those near or at the bottom barely have skin in the game when it comes to taxes and therefore we don't see anything wrong with "TAX THE RICH!!!" because it mostly doesn't effect us. I think 9-9-9 is a good idea because everyone will have skin in the game and if a politician proposes raising it to 10-10-10, election day HELL!
LOL you have to give some people some slack on thinking it's going to be added on top of the existing tax.. after all, who alive can remember when there wasn't an IRS or personal tax form. we've all gotten so use to the fed creating and adding taxes it's hard to conceive of that going away. I am definitely for Herman Cain ! Ballistics missiles to prayer missals , a successful business track record.. and a simple plan to solve complex problems.. Great vid and dissertation Zo
cont... Also, I am going to have to call bullshit about your comments about Ron Paul. He is one individual in a body 435 individuals. To say that he didn't get anything done and didn't lead by example is bullshit! Why do you think he was called Dr. No? Because he never votes to increase taxes, and never votes to allow the fed govt to do anything outside the enumerated powers of the Constitution. To say that he is just a typical career politician is misleading at best.
Zo, pretty good. I love how you talked about property rights, but what makes you think that 9-9-9 will stay 9-9-9 long enough to phase out the income tax? Cain would only be in office for eight years if elected and he would still have to get it through congress. How is giving the fed govt another tax stream right now a good idea? If you want a fair tax, get rid of the income tax first so we don't end up with 12-20-12 or some other nonsense like that! cont...
Hermain Cain could not explain his plan. When asked if you'd still be paying your state taxes he just went on some nonsensical rambling about apples and oranges.
As for telling those Occupy Wall Street people to go get a job. You realize that there are 5 applicants for every single job opening in America? The economy is in the crapper. Free trade agreeements and low tariffs sent millions of jobs overseas and those jobs aren't coming back until we fix the root of the problem.
You're a black conservative. The O-bots on the web are going to latch onto that fact as you promote Mister Cain, simply as Mister Cain is a Black conservative, and they're going to make it to be about race.
I'm quite concerned that we're going to have party-line jumpers who will do their best to get the worst candidate nominated, like they did with McCain for the 08 election.
Yet another failing of the two party system we have in the US, I guess.
Everyone proposed their tax ideas. The reason they're attacking Cain is because his pole numbers surged. And a lot of their critiques are justified. Not the "i thought it was a pizza" quips, The "and what would stop the government from raising it from 9%?".
Your tax views are in line with Ron Paul more than Herman Cain. Any reason your backing Cain over Paul?
I do not agree with Bachmann but she is right, you give Congress another money tube to suck on it WILL Increase.
@erakus But by that logic, why should we approve of ANY tax code... since the rates could just be raised later? Any new tax, fee, increase or reduction in tax rates could always be raised at some point. The responsibility lies on the voter to not elect officials who will raise taxes. The government COULD raise it... they could also lower it, if we elected the right people.
@10072018 The point was that Zo is against income taxes. That is why you would have to get rid of the tax code period. The only candidate talking about getting rid of income taxes is Ron Paul. Hence, the "logic" you speak of. If there is no income tax, there is no tax rate for them to raise (speaking purely of income taxes, of course).
@cbl2988 I'm not disagreeing with any of that, what I'm saying is SOMETHING has to be taxed, and at a certain rate. The argument "It's no good cause government can raise the rate" can apply to ANY tax, not just 999. You can't oppose 999 just based on the fact that the government could raise it.
@10072018 I dont approve of any income tax code. Just like 'Zo Says its our "Property". And our right. If they want to do a national sales tax that could be only good if it is ONLY on end of the line products and not the products used for manufacturing. Because if you tax just thing sold some things can be taxed multiple times (value added tax). And the whole the responsibility relies on the voter, That majority put obama in office without even checking out his track record.
Even though Mr. Cain suspended his campaign I'm still on the Cain Train.

Where did this idiot come from? Telling Ron Paul to do his job? Here is an asshole that knows nothing. Dr Paul has been trying to get rid of the income tax for over 30 years, during which Cain was working for the very banking cartel that sponsored and forced passage of the income tax.
And what makes you think the 999 plan doesn't grow into the 30 30 30 plan? The income tax started as 1% on the richest 1% and look where it is now. Spending is the problem NOT taxes! Cain won't talk about that.

CAIN / FAIRTAX 2012
stopstickers 4 months ago 2
Government will spend what it takes in. Cain's plan intends to increase revenue by taxing the bottom 50% along with a sales tax, further limiting their purchasing power. If Cains tax reform increases government revenue, then I see that as harmful and not what this economy needs, because either way we would still be taking more money out of the economy. I can understand a national sales tax, but income tax MUST FIRST be abolished.
I still prefer a negative income tax.

deprived56501 4 months ago
@Dragdamar Deciding who pays what based on what someone considers "fair" is the wrong attitude to approach this. It's the economy we are talking about. Cain's plan will raise revenue by taxing the poor. Just because he says he will reduce gov spending doesn't mean he will, or that congress will. If you want economic recovery you don't raise taxes on the poor and reduce government spending. Taking more money out of the economy and putting it in gov is the net result of his plan.

@superlucci As Milton Friedman said, "Nirvana is not for this world." I agree. Cain takes money out of the economy by broadening the tax base, which is suppose to help the economy how? Gov will spend what it takes in. I have an alternative, a negative income tax. It only increases revenue, because government welfare and other redistributive programs can be abolished by being rolled into the tax code.Why should the gov tax consumption and the poors income.
groam6666 4 months ago
@groam6666 Hey, Im for no income or corporate income tax at all, Im for a 15 percent national sales tax.
I would also encourage states to get rid of their income and sales tax, so that everybody gets to keep all of their money, and only pays tax only on what they buy.
Now I like a negative income tax too. Gives everybody like....10000 dollars or something? then once they make a certain amount, since it doesnt destroy incentive to get a job, they actually pay taxes.
Still like mine better
superlucci 4 months ago
@groam6666 - I have tended to agree with the approach you mentioned as long as the person is not allowed to vote when paying no taxes. If you do not contribute, then you take a pass on how other's people money is spent. A high percentage of people move out of "poor" status every year though (and up the income scale), so then I think it (poor pay no taxes at all) is a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.

@superlucci When the Income Tax was created (same year as Federal Reserve), it was manipulated and spiraled out of control in just a few years. It is absolutely correct and okay to assume this plan would too. Obamacare was argued against on the basis, that it has the potential to be a disaster in various ways. Along with several wars like Iraq, that were Rightly Argued against because it would be a "quagmire" like Dick Cheney said in the early 90s.

I'll prove it to you: what's more important to you? Property or Liberty? Liberty, right? It's more fundamental. But, under your scheme, if they can't take property, then they can't take liberty - which means they can't put folks in jail for committing a criminal act. Untenable.

Cains 9-9-9 plan will raise taxes on the poor. The whole point of this plan is to raise government revenue, which it does, so do we really want the government to take more money from the economy and spend it on entitlements. If we put politicians in a position where they have more money to spend, it doesen't matter if Cain would reduce spending, because it's up to congress first of all, and who knows what another administration would do. Cain is more of the same only packaged differently.
groam6666 4 months ago
Herman Cain is awesome. I am all for a flat tax. If you make twice as much, you should pay twice as much, and not a penny more. Plus it gets the 47% of freeloaders that don't pay income tax now to pay their fair share.
Of course a benefit of a flat tax that most people don't realize is we are all in the same tax bracket. I want lower taxes, but in order to get that I have to help everyone else lower their taxes too. If everyone wants to pay less, government spending gets cut really quickly.
v12tommy 4 months ago
@v12tommy
Aside from the payroll, state, property and sales taxes that those "freeloaders" DO pay, the reason they don't have to pay federal taxes is pretty simple.
The HIGHEST income earners in the bottom 47% only make 20k a year. Altogether, the 47% control a whopping 2% of the country's wealth.
Its brilliant how the media's manipulated you to think putting taxes on the wealthy back to where they used to be is a bad idea so we should raise them on those that can least afford it instead...
yeebuddeh1 4 months ago
@yeebuddeh1 the top 10% pay 70% of the federal taxes property and sales taxes are state taxes NOT federal taxes the federal government doesn't get one penny form sales and property tax, and payroll taxes are payed by business owners not persons earning 20k a year! yes the brilliant media have manipulated people but people like yourself into thinking that your entitled to the earnings of those who make more than you!
ABGAN100 4 months ago
@yeebuddeh1 How much they make is irrelevant. If they earn 2% of the country's wealth, they should pay 2% of the overall taxes. I am not saying everyone should pay a certain dollar amount, but everyone should pay the same percentage. If you half as much, you should pay half as much, but you still need to pay. They claim the wealthy should pay their fair share, but they have no skin in the game. The top 1% already pay 38% of taxes. It is time the bottom 47% pay their fair share too.
v12tommy 4 months ago
One issue with a flat tax is that it can't be simple. For example; I live abroad; if I pay to two countries, I have very little left - not to mention the tax treaty between the country I live in and the U.S. Similarly, farmers and businessmen will still have complications, as you are taxing income, not revenue, so expenses get deducted. Not that I oppose a flat tax; I'm just pointing out the issue.

The INTENT is irrelevant. The GOAL is meaningless.

It's like saying you have to take a step backward to move forward.

@eagleeye1975 well we are talking about taxes and they can never be fully equitable or without possible "tinkering". What I would like to get in the "Fair Tax" is the immediate reaction to what people pay on a day to day basis. If you go buy milk and its $3.50 one week, and next week it $4.50, people will be more willing to speak up (at least that's the way it seems). Again, taxes are sticky. There is a bad way, and a less bad way. I'm just wanting a less bad way.

I think 9-9-9 is a good idea because everyone will have skin in the game and if a politician proposes raising it to 10-10-10, election day HELL!

The government COULD raise it... they could also lower it, if we elected the right people.

@10072018 The point was that Zo is against income taxes. That is why you would have to get rid of the tax code period. The only candidate talking about getting rid of income taxes is Ron Paul.

cbl2988 4 months ago
@cbl2988 I'm not disagreeing with any of that, what I'm saying is SOMETHING has to be taxed, and at a certain rate. The argument "It's no good cause government can raise the rate" can apply to ANY tax, not just 999. You can't oppose 999 just based on the fact that the government could raise it.
10072018 4 months ago
@10072018 I dont approve of any income tax code. Just like 'Zo Says its our "Property". And our right. If they want to do a national sales tax that could be only good if it is ONLY on end of the line products and not the products used for manufacturing. Because if you tax just thing sold some things can be taxed multiple times (value added tax). And the whole the responsibility relies on the voter, That majority put obama in office without even checking out his track record.
