Increasing taxes on people in the top 1% who make 380k a year from 35% to higher is just plain dumb, so ive heard is Obamas plan. Cain will be a puppet but lowering taxes, would cause a big dip in government spending. I think enough Republicans and others would vote him in over Obama. This would make society worse off for maybe a 20 year span if it continued. But if would build for a brighter future.
I don't think things work how you think they do. Everyone just pays lip service to the 'cut spending' theme. When pressed they can never actually tell you where these massive cuts are going to come from. Hence why we are $14 trillion in debt. They will just continue borrowing more. Ron Paul is the only one that takes spending cuts seriously.
I'm still waiting for Cain to release his calculations and 'analysis' used, because it seems everyone else who is running the numbers on 999 is coming to different conclusions regarding: 1)The fact that it will be revenue neutral 2)The way it affects the tax burden of different income levels.
So far in rebuttal to these arguments he has only offered, 'The problem with your analysis is that it's wrong.' Helpful.
