How does the FairTax affect wages and prices?

Yes, and as Money Magazine has pointed out, wages will also be lowered. And as Snopes has pointed out, those that make more then $200,000 will pay less taxes, and the middle class that makes less than $200,000 will pay more in taxes.

So the bottom line is the Fair tax sucks for the middle class, and your man Cain is promoting this further attack on working people! Good luck Sister, you are going to need it to get Cain as the GOP choice for the contender! :sun
 
As much as Abe Lincoln. :sun

Politicians from that time and this time are vastly different. Politicians then, no matter the party, protected the constitution the way it was written. Politicians now try to rewrite it to fit their agenda.

You have an imbalanced view of History. In all actuality, arguments regarding the Constitution and its correct interpretation stretch back to as far as it was written. It was easy to see it being interpreted to fit their agenda, just as it is easy enough to see so now. Lincoln, of all people, felt justified and criticized for his interpretation.

I actually agree to a point. I just think that the politicians of today are much worse about it. The attack on the constitution didn't really start untill the 1900's in my opinion. And of course Lincoln was attacked...he was president in a civil war. He implemented martial law. He did all these things that would cost anyone now their political career.

Yes, but...the Bank of the United States, Marshall's Marbury v. Madison decision, the Louisiana Purchase, and so on. Each represents something dramatic, but now forgotten. The point is, we are just a tad too harsh on ourselves.

I did say I agreed to a point, but I, personally, don't see The Louisiana Purchase as unconstitutional.
 
Granted the Constitution lines out what the government CAN do, but the constitution did not say that the purchasing of land in such a manner was not allowed.
 
Newt Gingrich beat him to it.

Yea, the turd. :) He knew he better do something. Look at this poll that just came out.

IBOPE | Zogby IBOPE Zogby Poll: Cain Now Second to Christie As Top Choice Of GOP Primary Voters
 
liberals don't want a black man running against obama? why in the world would you think that?

we certainly disagree.

1) ron paul supporters are irrelevant.
2) what "muslim" thing?3) money comes to front running candidates, and he certainly ought to have plenty of his own to begin.
4) media attention comes to front runners.

republicans do not want a black man as their candidate, because then too many of them would just stay home on election day. you excepted.

1)I don't think Ron Paul supporters are irrelevant. They could help Cain a lot if they wanted. But if they insist on trashing him and staying loyal to Paul, we could end up with an establishment Republican, or worse, Barack Obama.

3)He doesn't have his own money, but he is coming up in the polls. Zogby has him 2nd only to Christie who isn't running. Maybe the Koch bro. will back him, but I doubt the RNC or Rove's crossroads will.

4)The way the media is ignoring him I'm not sure even as a frontrunner they will cover him, or cover him fairly. I have a feeling they'll just keep treating him like Paul.

2) this muslim thing. Could cause him some problems.

ThinkProgress » EXCLUSIVE: Herman Cain Tells ThinkProgress ‘I Will Not’ Appoint A Muslim In My Administration

Most Republicans don't vote based on the color of someone's skin, unlike liberals.

I'm not worried about people staying home for that reason. If he wins the nomination, the race card will be off the table. The choice will be between more Barack Obama or a real conservative who believes we live in the greatest country on earth.
 
Call it a hunch, but I wouldn't bet on Christie holding firm on not running.
 
My assumption is that the missing word is "Career". Apparently, career politicians got us into this mess, so why not look outside the normal pool of applicants?

what kind of pool, cesspool maybe?:(

As far as I know he is NOT running. There's a rumor he might accept VP if it come up.

And lets see, we have Mitch Danials. If he throws his hat in (as rumored) his numbers may go up.
Trumps out pretty sure. I don't know who will get his votes. Looks like Palin's not running. Cain will probably get most of those votes.
I think Mr. Cain has as much chance as anyone, maybe more. His supporters love him. There's no ho'hum I guess he'll do.

But here again, Cain isn't receiving the backing of the GOP. I was watching the Today Show this morning and Matt Lauer was interviewing Carl Rove. He gave credit or made mention of just about every Republican candidate, as well as, the two who have yet to put their names in the hat - Mitch Daniels and Christie, but didn't mention Herman Cain at all. He did mention that Donald Trump wouldn't get the GOP presidential knod because he basically killed his chances with the birther issue, and he talked up Pawlenty, but he said not one word about Cain...the man who by most accounts won the first GOP presidential debate. Nothing...zeltch...nahdah!!!

And the citizens of the Right are suppose to pick the next GOP candidate...???...yeah, right. Good Luck with that!

This is getting funnier every day!! :lol:

It is? SO we're not supposed to be balanced and informed. Am I understanding your take on things correctly?
 
would you vote for Herman Cain if he made it to the presidential election?

Nope. I saw him on the debate the other night and immediately saw him for what he is: an opportunist just like Trump and Palin. The man is a human bumper sticker! Call him Herman "Talking Points" Cain from now on. Do you want to know his position on an issue? Just go to a Tea Party rally and look at the signs, that'll be it.
