Herman Cain claims that brainwashing explains why so few blacks support conservative Republicans such as himself. He is wrong. The thinking, sentiments, and policy preferences he supports give good cause for rejecting him.

This is a perfect example of the "news" I normally reject. The media bias is pretty pathetic.
 
Well, this is an opinion piece Red (that's why it says CNN Opinion in big bold letters at the top). You can't just label all opinions that you disagree with as biased. You can however provide us with your own, opposing opinion. Not only that, you can provide your opinion at the bottom of that very article for all to see.

The only part with that statement, the only opinion pieces that come through the "news feed" are left leaning. Not just left leaning, but a specific agenda left leaning. I have yet to see an opinion piece from the news feed from CNN (Clinton News Network) stating something like "Cain is right for a good reason".
 
Cain says liberals killed Jesus.
Cain's 9-9-9 tax is a gift to the rich and a new burden for the poor. (Yes, it IS 666 if you look at it the other way up - and yes, he does say that making the 48% of people who don't pay federal income tax pay now 9% won't change anything for them).
He tries to look like an outsider but he's a millionaire backed by billionaire Kochs.

He's plugged into the elite structure every bit as much as Obama, and probably more.

Also, Herman Cain stated he would not hire a Muslim. After being called out for his discrimination and a few backpeddles he eventually apologized.
 
According to that article he wasn't just rich, but privileged as well. He knew someone who was formerly on the board of the cancer center, and who also made lots of donations. His friend got him past other rich people in the queue. Some other rich guy is now probably dead.

Funny that, payroll taxes (6% Social Security plus 3.5% Medicare for a total of 9.5%) are eliminated so there goes your argument that the poor will be paying more. Even more so since there are exemptions for those families near or below the poverty level (aimed at the earned income credit families). Then there are the local Opportunity Zones that give deductions for living in those zones and another deduction for working in those zones. Detroit is a prime example of where Cain wants those Opportunity Zones. Then since the embedded income tax is taking out of products, retail prices will fall saving families even more money.

You didn't read the plan or you just saying none truths?

But the Kochs also give to the Democrats: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/07/koch_industries_acting_like_it.html

Then he can hopefully pull the US out of it's death spiral. Of course, Sauro^H^H^H^Horos will pay via proxies to attack him, can't have Cain stopping the world's plunge into debt suicide, Sauro^H^H^H^Horos has worked so hard for so many years to achieve this.

Check out how 9-9-9 would change your taxes.

Find your tax bracket and check it out. Blue (positive) indicate how much more you would owe, red (negative) bars represent what you would save.

That chart is WAY off on the lower tier. By my quick calculations, they didn't eliminate the payroll tax nor the near or at poverty exemptions for families (earned income credit families). Nor did they take into effect the lowering of consumer goods because of the embedded taxes are eliminated. Nor did they take into account the elimination of paying people to do your own income taxes.

Proof that there is a queue for treatment? This isn't Canada after all.

You can certainly say that, you just can't prove it. Pity that.

Instead, in his book, he lays out all the ways his privileged status impacted his care. For instance, when Cain was first diagnosed with cancer of the colon and liver and a 30 percent chance of survival, he was told that he should go to a specialized cancer center rather than a hospital, namely the M.D. Anderson cancer center in Houston. Not everyone who wants to go to such a top-flight facility gets to go there, however. Plenty of people with private insurance have died waiting for an insurance company functionary to approve such treatment. It can take weeks to get into Anderson, and it requires traveling at short notice, which can only add to the costs. So Cain called his friend T. Boone Pickens, the oil magnate, who used to be on the board of the center and was a big donor to the cancer center. Pickens made a call, and Cain was in.

apparently, Cain has proven just that.

What Cecilia said. Plus in Canada, buying your way ahead of the queue is a lot harder since all hospitals are funded with public funds. You could probably pay of some key personnel, but you'd really have to be more lucky than anything to know the right people. Although, come to think of it, we might have private oncology clinics here as well, not sure. I know we have private MRI clinics and sports clinics.
 
Outsider?

So much for Herman Cain being an “outsider”. Not only was he a DC INsider, he also advised Bob Dole and Jack Kemp’s failed presidential campaign, failed as a 2000 presidential candidate himself, and then became co-chairman of Steve Forbes’s failed campaign.
Can’t get much more not-outsidery and faily than that, now can you?

So let me get this right Herman Cain claims blacks are too brainwashed (eg stupid) to vote for him?

The '999' plan in it's original form is most costly to the USA. 3/4 of the people will pay more in taxes. Now that people are looking at the plan Herman Cain is changing provisions. It's now really a 9-0-9 plan to help actually reduce taxes for the poor and middle-class. The plan is still heavy on taxing the poor and pro-reduction of tax on the rich.

There's clearly a problem in the USA. The idealized self-made man vision of a millionaire has been sold to such a degree that a significant portion of the population believes the rich shouldn't pay more. I'd vote we get back to Reagan's view that money is money. The rich pay a lower % of tax because most of their money is taken, not through labor, but through investing. Capital Gains rates are lower than actual work for the same money. This has resulted in our current structure which is fairly flat and often the middle-class pay a larger % of their income than those at the top.

One of the significant problems we have has yet to be purposed to be fixed by any candidate. That is to establish a way to move away from system where it's more costly to be middle-class. Establishing Capital Gain tax levels at or above earned income levels would go a large way. The other thing would be to remove the income cap on social security taxes. Tax all money for social security, not just that below ~100K. Then the rate could be reduced to everyone as the rich would contribute to an area where they aren't now. --- More money in the hands of the poor and middle-class will do more to stimulate the economy. Clearly the last decade (heck 3 decades) of giving the rich more money isn't doing it.
 
that sounds good to me. congress seems to think the middle class is the whipping boy of the country. idiots
