#215026 - 10/14/11 09:48 AM Herman Cain...?
jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I'd like to know what you ladies think of Herman Cain and his 999 plan to turn the American economy around. This is just a personal survey for my own information. I first heard about the man from my SIL and her brother. Both of them were impressed by the man a few months ago before he became very well known. IMHO the problem with campaigns is, the candidates sound good until they get into office. Then oftentimes ideas change and political pressures force them to do the opposite of what they promised during the campaign. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	This is the same man who said anyone who is poor is poor through their own fault. Granted, there are those who are just lazy, but I think the great majority have lost their jobs through no fault of their own, and there aren't enough jobs for everyone who wants one, especially when many companies won't even consider someone who is currently unemployed. From the analyses I've read, the 999 plan will actually raise taxes on those who can least afford it and will bring in less tax money than is now being brought in. I agree that the tax structure needs to change; it's too complicated with too many loopholes, but I don't think this plan is the one to do it. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Hi yonuh, I saw that excerpt, blame nobody but yourself if your poor. I also believe the gov't blows money on overly inflated products and wacko grants. Reporters say this gent has little political experience. But then again look at decisions made by so-called political experts. I'm just surveying thought processes of others, right now. Thanks yonuh! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Interesting information, ladies. I didn't know anything about him prior to this discussion, though since I live close enough to Iowa to get their TV stations, I expect we will be starting to see -- that is be barraged with -- campaign commercials for all of the candidates soon enough. This because Iowa is jockeying with a number of other states to continue to have the first primary, and as a result, I expect it will be held sometime in December. Anyway, just checked in with my friend Google on this one, and found links to Cain's website and others. This is what Wikipedia has on him... _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I hope people really pay attention to Herman Cains messages, all of them because he is truly moving up fast from those who do. I promised myself NOT to be political on this forum again so I will just say this: At least the Democratcs can't blame him for racism if he does well against Obama, and is the Republicans candidate! _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Ellemm Registered: 11/04/08 Posts: 601	I think the 999 plan is intriguing and worth of discussion, but there are a number of aspects to it that say -- to me, at least -- that this is nothing to jump into. For one thing, Cain actually supports the FairTax, which would eliminate all other taxes and would impose a sales tax of 30% on everything. For some reason, I assume because baby steps are easier than big steps, he wants to start with 999 and work his way toward the FairTax. I found a link that didn't seem to be crazy so people might have a look: http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/dean-clancy/herman-cains-999-plan-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugl
