The Real Herman Cain



So Herman Cain seems to be getting a lot of buzz lately, with Perry’s crash and burn, the Party’s refusing to acknowledge Ron Paul, and their lackluster feelings for Mitt Romney. Herman is certainly taking full advantage of his 15 minutes.

Once you start really looking at Herman Cain, he may start seeing some things that you don’t like. The first one being the 9-9-9 plan that he has promoted it as a bold and fresh approach to the tax system, but how fresh is it?

An interesting story was presented on the Huffington Post:

“But there's already a 999 plan out there, in a land called SimCity.
Long before Cain was running for president and getting attention for his 999 plan, the residents of SimCity 4 -- which was released in 2003 -- were living under a system where the default tax rate was 9 percent for commercial taxes, 9 percent for industrial taxes and 9 percent for residential taxes.”

Did he lift his bold and fresh new plan from an 8 year old video game?

What about Ron Paul busting Cain on his position to audit the fed and Cain’s claiming Paul was not accurate about his remarks.

“As recently as 2010, long after the Fed began engaging in the lending Cain says he now opposes, Cain belittled those calling for an audit.

"Some people say that we ought to audit the Fed. Here's what I do know. The Federal Reserve already has so many internal audits it's ridiculous. I don't know why people think we're gonna learn this great amount of information by auditing the Federal Reserve. I think a lot of people are calling for this audit of the Federal Reserve because they don't know enough about it. There's no hidden secrets going on in the Federal Reserve to my knowledge," he said.”

We can not forget Cain’s ridiculous statement that no bill under a Herman Cain administration will be over 3 pages long.

Herman Cain thinks that an important piece of legislation should be shorter than a high school research paper.

And then Herman telling people if they do not have a job, if they are not rich, don’t blame Wall Street, blame yourselves. Any time you start off a statement with “I don’t have facts to back this up” you should probably shut up.

Herman Cain is so out there, so full of his self, so pro-corporate America, he may just be the guy the Republicans want as president.
