Friends: Something to consider!

Friends:  I too, like Herman Cain and his 9-9-9 plan. There are a few problems with his plan. It starts out at 9-9-9 and can go UP from there to what a 15+-15+-15+ plan?  Also realize that this is only the Federal Tax and it does NOT include any Local or State Sales or Income taxes you will also have to pay! 

I sure as hell can't see buying a $50,000 new car and paying 9% Federal tax, plus a 9%  (Calif) state Sales tax for a total now of 18% plus license and registration fees!

That's $9,000 in State and Federal Taxes!  Not to mention that this also applies to food and fuel as well as everything else we will buy! Does this mean the system will also TAX all the freebies the welfare and assistance programs offer to all the free loaders? Who will pay this?

Getting rid of the IRS by itself is almost worth it in the long run! But I really doubt that this is going to happen. Plus. with the current Tax system there are too many loop holes! Only 47% of the people in America pay any income tax at ALL! So that leaves 53% of the people are deadbeats and are working the system for all it's worth! This has to STOP and STOP NOW!

The real issues for the short term is getting America back to work and Welfare reform and getting the illegals out of our Country. Welfare needs a complete overhaul & has to re-structure itself! Make Food Stamps and assistance programs restricted to JUST the Basics, not Pizzas, Ho Ho's, Michael Jordan Tennis shoes or Carte Blanche as it is NOW!  These people need to go to work! If your on any type of assistance program it should be mandatory that you work in a Community Service, Local, State or Federal job program with NO pensions or benefits and even if it is picking up trash along the Highways or doing something to help earn & pay for what your getting free from the system! Make DRUG TESTING mandatory for any Assistance or Welfare programs! Too many people have learned how to work the system and this in itself has to STOP or we all are doomed! We are almost DOOMED already with what is allowed to go on!

Did you notice that Herman Cain is somewhat Pro-Gun????  Where do all the others Stand?  Only Michele Bachman returned the NRA questionnaire stating that she supported the 2nd. amendment and NONE of the other current GOP candidates returned the NRA questionnaire, including HERMAN CAIN!    Is GUN Control on the horizon and our 2nd. amendment rights in jeopardy again?

As always, the candidates give their response to all the issues and once they are elected they do damn well as they please! There is no accountability to the office of President!  Once in office you can change anything you want and when people gripe you can saying anything as a reason and it's end of story for 4 years or more!  Look how low our morals have reached when oral sex is now allowed in the Oval office of the President of the United States of America, can you believe this? What a disgrace!  What has happened to our Country? If Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona or Gunny Sgt. R. Lee Emery were put into office you'd see a lot of changes real fast and the language to boot!

Is Herman Cain an Oreo? or is he the real deal that America needs?  Lets not make this next election an election of color, lets focus on what really needs to be done and go to work to FIX America! What is really hiding behind the man and can he defeat Mr. O? It would be the first election in history where we have two Afro-Americans running for president!  Plus, is America and the Economy really ready for a back to back man of color running our Country for possibly another 8 years? Once CAIN tries to change the system all the enemies will come out of the woodwork and the Democrats and Liberals will go on the warpath! I don't care if Herman Cain is black, white, yellow or green! All I care about is if Herman Cain can change America and bring us back from the brink of total destruction? 

Herman Cain is the only candidate that has come forth with a PLAN to try and fix our dilemma = 9-9-9-....... what plans have you heard from the other candidates? NOTHING!

I wish I had a crystal ball to see over the horizon.............. time will tell and I fear there has been so much damage done by the current administration that no matter who gets elected they will take years and years to fix and dig ourselves out of the hole we currently are in!

We can change America back to the country we once knew and where the words that say "IN GOD WE TRUST" mean something again!  This is AMERICA, the land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!  We speak english in America and I'll be damned if I ever want to have to push "ONE" for english in the country where I was born!  My Great grand parents were immigrants and they only spoke French when they arrived at Ellis Island and yet, they knew English was the language of America and they learned to speak English as everyone else did!  "E Plurbis Unum"  is on our currency and it is Latin for "From many we become One" This was first suggested by Congress on July 4th 1776 and then finally adopted on our Great Seal in June 1782. Our great Seal was designed by Latin Master Charles Thompson, the Secretary of the 1st Continental Congress. Enough of todays History lesson!

The words "MADE IN THE USA" needs to be brought back into our country and not Made in China or any other Country!  If you want more Jobs in the USA then watch your labels and buy American!

The Tax code needs to be completely overhauled and that is a complete war by itself!

Have a wonderful week and Pray for our Troops and those that have given their lives so that we can live in freedom in this wonderful land called AMERICA!

God Bless,

Herman Cain is running for President....      He's not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He's known as a pizza guy, but there's a lot more to him. He's also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy. Here's his bio:     *    Bachelor's degree in Mathematics.     *    Master's degree in Computer Science.     *    Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).     *    Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.     *    VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).     All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!     *    Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury's 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company's poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company's best performers.     *    Godfather's Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather's Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.     *    In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather's Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.     *    He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.     Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!     *    Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.     *    Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.     After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!     *    Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You're Stupid.     *    Radio Host. Around 2007-after a remarkable 40 year career-he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).     He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life-including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking-     STACK THAT UP AGAINST THE 'COMMUNITY ORGANIZER'....     Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century. and the press  only say he was CEO of a pizza shop!!
