still waiting for someone to tell me why this plan apparently sucks so bad....

All ive heard is that the guy who made it works at wells fargo ::)

apparently that somehow discredits this bill?
dude, you can't get a definite answer on this because he has not given all of the details of it which is why I won't totally come out against it yet.  All we can do is speculate based on how much he has given us.

At this point, the pressure is on for him to lay out the details.  If he doesn't, that's a major problem because this plan could easily be good or devastating based only on what we've been given.

I understand that many want to see some form of equal contribution tax wise... but I also understand that if you were to add a national sales tax of 9% on top of state tax, the only thing you'll see from that right now is a significant decrease in buying.  Considering the time we're in right now, that doesn't seem like a great idea even if you don't like the fact that the poor and middle class pay less than the rich.

I don't know why people are acting like it's a dead issue because *gasp* a normal working person may have come up with it. So normal people don't have good ideas? We should only look to the Econ PhDs for the answer? That has gotten us really far (Hi, Bernankicide!).

Pretty dumb criticism.  Anyone can come up with a good idea. 

How desperate are these (new) Cain haters?  Just as bad as those trying to find dirt on Perry, or the absurd criticism of Bachmann.

I love bachmann... but she has ruined her momentum and walked herself right into obscurity with her own words.  :(

critcism of Bachmann is easy..she who rails against entitlements and government subsidies yet was caught with her hand in the cookie jar as well with her clinic benefiting from medicaid and her other Gov't subsidies

Criticism is fine.  It's the stupid stuff I'm talking about, like this thread, Pokemon (lol), Bachmann's husband, putting out ads looking for Perry mistresses, etc.

Here is one I posted in a thread about Perry.  Done by a rabid Ron Paul supporter. 

"Have you ever had sex with Rick Perry?"
A Texas Ron Paul supporter runs a newspaper ad seeking women who have slept with the presidential candidate
BY JUSTIN ELLIOTT

An Austin Ron Paul supporter has taken out a full-page ad in the local alt weekly newspaper seeking any "stripper ... escort ... or 'young hottie'" who has slept with Rick Perry, part of his single-minded jihad against the presidential candidate.

Robert Morrow describes himself as a "self-employed investor and political activist" as well as a three-time delegate to the Texas state GOP convention.

"Have you ever had sex with Rick Perry?" blares the ad, placed by Morrow in this week's Austin Chronicle. "Are you a stripper, an escort, or just a 'young hottie' impressed by an arrogant, entitled governor of Texas? Contact CASH, and we will help you publicize your direct dealings with a Christian-buzzwords-spouting, 'family values' hypocrite and fraud."

CASH is the Committee Against Sexual Hypocrisy, of which Morrow is president. "Is it a real group? No. It's just me," he told Salon earlier this week. Here is the ad, which the paper confirmed is running today (click for full size):



To be clear, there is absolutely no evidence that Perry has had extramarital affairs. But Morrow has written a screed, currently circulating online, that denounces Perry both for his policies (it labels him a "crony capitalist" and a "Neocon") as well as his alleged dalliances.

Morrow claims that he knows strippers in Austin who have stories about Perry, but none of them are willing to come forward to the press; hence, the need for an ad in the Chronicle. "I think it's only a matter of time until somebody credible comes forward," he told me.

At the bottom of the ad is a nod to the longtime (and equally unsubstantiated) rumors that Perry, who has pursued sundry anti-gay policies, is himself gay. "Note to gay people: If you know the truth about Rick, please QUIT covering for him," it reads.

The Chronicle itself looked into the infidelity/gay rumors in 2004, calling them "extraordinary in their baroque detail and remarkable persistence." It found "no evidence of any truth to any of them, whatsoever." Just this past June, Politico reported that Perry's organization was "more than prepared" for a re-airing of the gay rumors. His spokesman said that Perry and his wife, Anita, "have been lovingly married since 1982 and are parents to two grown children."

Morrow, meanwhile, has been leaving comments on blogs, writing his widely circulated anti-Perry essay, and, he says, fielding calls from multiple reporters. (He even says he spoke with a National Enquirer reporter who is being dispatched to Austin.)

This isn't the first time Morrow has engaged in this sort of one-man attack campaign. Back in 2008, he paid for (and personally voiced) an anti-Hillary robocall in South Carolina that made the unsubstantiated claim that "Hillary knew about and helped cover up Bill's rape of Juanita Broaddrick."
