Herman Cain’s Campaign Only Has ‘Several Hundred Thousand Dollars’ at His Disposal

Herman Cain’s Campaign Only Has ‘Several Hundred Thousand Dollars” At His DisposalGOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has been lighting the polls on fire, but his campaign seems to be lagging in the fundraising department — especially when compared to heavyweights like Mitt Romney and President Obama.

CNN’s Erin Burnett and her guest, Newsweek/Daily Beast columnist John Avalon, discussed Cain’s campaign finances, revealing that the former chairman of Kansas’ Federal Reserve Bank only has about “several hundred thousand dollars” in his.

Mediaite adds:

The two circled back to Burnett’s interview with Cain, during which he shared that he only has “several hundred thousand dollars” at his disposal:

He added that things have “really picked up lately.” Keep in mind that his competitors, including Romney and Obama, have gathered several millions of dollars. Although, as Avalon, pointed out, while money is important, it ultimately does not decide who becomes president.

One can imagine that if Cain continues to soar in the polls, however, the substantial contributions might soon follow:

      Only authentic Blacks get the bank! Maybe the fed will give him some left over cash that didn’t manage to become authentic due to flaws in the printing process. With all that cash flying around out there, no one will notice.

      Sorry to be the one to burst yall bubbles here. But this news that he is low on money only confirms my instincts. His new surge in the polls was all a play by the Establishment and mainstream Media. If he really had growing grassroots support as some of these talking heads in the Media are suggesting he would of had more donations come in. Simple. The news media has hyped him up. They hyped Romney, (they saw a lack of interest), so then they hyped up Rick Perry (who had even surpassed Romney for a few days), but realized his incompetence to debate and charm the crowd, so now they (the Establishment and Media) have pushed Cain on us, their next “viable” candidate. I didn’t fall for the last two, and won’t fall for it this time also. Just my 2 cents. They all change positions depending on the crowd and topic of the day.

      for those of you further in this post talking about state taxes, it is really important to understand that Democratic states have the highest state taxes. liberals and socialist believe in higher taxes to fund socialist programs, Dems fear Herman because he will actually lower taxes.

      If the government was not corrupt we could pay our bills with a 1 1 1 tax, how about not spending more than we take in, how about local governments spend local taxes on repairing roads etc, like they are suppose to instead of funding illegal immigration. lets tell the truth, we have a corrupt government that only cares about its own selfish self centered wants and needs. each state should be able to run without the federal Government if it was run like a business.

      Its real simple here people, we either want to be socialist or we want to be capitalist.
      If you want to be a socialist you are looking at a preview of it on wall street protest.

      @survivorseed That would be the 9 9 9 plan that dramatically increases the overall tax burden on the middle class and lower class families. Without question one of the most regressive tax plans ever proposed. Anyone who thinks or believes (for those who don’t think) that the concentration of wealth in this country is not a major factor in the current economic downturn is a neophyte and should refrain from commenting. The key indicator of the concentration being out of balance is the slow down in how fast money is moving through the economy. We need more demand not more investment. And the wealthy will not begin investing until demand increases. As demand creates jobs, not the wealthy. They merely respond to the investment opportunity created by demand. As do the mutual funds and pension plans that are made up of the middle classes money.

      I am amazed by the lack of vetting going on. Anyone who backs the fed does not back America. As Ron Paul quipped, “Spoken like a true insider.” Cain is pure RINO, pure Big Gov, and definitely not a conservative. There are also questions about his time at Godfather’s Pizza. Apparently the business buckled during his time there.

      @JROOK – You are completely wrong on 9-9-9.

      The two biggest forms of federal tax that lower incomes pay are payroll withholdings and embedded tax cost in the goods and services they purchase. Businesses take the cost of their tax burdens, which is just part of the cost of doing business after all, and pass it on in the price of their product. Conceptually, there is no such thing as taxing business because it always ends up being a tax on the consumer in the end.

      Taxing businesses hit low income consumers very hard, because it gets passed on to them in the form of increased prices for everything they buy.

      Businesses will get a big reduction in taxes and costs, and the market competition forces them to pass their savings on to the consumer and other businesses that they supply for.

      Effectively, the 9% sales tax component merely replaces the reduction in embedded taxes in the final retail price of goods and services. In general, retail goods and services WILL NOT COST MORE, EVEN WITH THE SALES TAX! The 9-9-9 plan is retail price neutral on the whole, which makes sense when you consider that it is revenue neutral.

      So for low income folks, replacing payroll withholdings with a flat 9% on income is a gain for their pocket book. The 9% sales tax is a “no change” on the prices of goods and services, so it is neutral. They will have the same or more spending power out of their income compared to what they have now. Then consider them living in a stronger econom

      If people fall for this Federal Reserve shill, then they get what they deserve. The corrupt MSM is propping this guy up , just like they did Ohmamma in the last election.

      Why would Herman Cain spend 500,000 dollars of his own money, to try and get a job that only pays 400,000 a year?
      Why would Romney and the Perry have MILLIONS dumped in their campaigns? Because the special interests are going to come looking for a return on their investment (aka special favors), when they get into office.

      Ron Paul hauled in 8 million last quarter. More donations from the military than ALL of the other Repugs COMBINED. Even more than Ohmamma.

    I will vote for whichever nominee to get rid of the empty suit.. but Cain is someone we really can relate to and get exited about and someone who really would appeal to youth as well as and those who blindly voted for nice teeth and “fundamental transformation” over a crotchety big tent R. He will give optimism through the growth of free enterprise. Cain’s speaking resonates to the individual and he is not promoted by big moola & corrupt cronies. His knowledge and experience is vastly varied above position of CEO of Godfather’s. I saw the bumpersticker “if you voted for Obama to show that you’re not a racist, then this time vote for Cain to show that you’re not stupid!”

    Do the math. 9+9+9=27. Add to that state and local taxes. We ALL will be paying the 40% rate that the more fortunate do now.

    Watch the last debate. The only guy that understands the economy is Congressman Ron Paul.

      1st: 9 percent sales tax is not equivalent to 9 percent income tax and is not equivalent to 9% business tax.
      2nd: Most of us don’t own a business and will never have to pay the 9% flat business tax.
      3rd: Most of us pay more than 9% income tax already.
      4th: Most of us already pay close to 9% sales tax.
      5th: Most companies pay an extremely high tax rate, which they pass onto the consumer to maintain profit. Lower their tax rate, and the product they sell will cost less because they can still make a good profit while selling for less, which in turn helps them sell more, which in turn makes more money come in . So though sales tax might go up, we the consumer start to pay less for the product. 9% tax of an item that costs $5.00 is less than 5% tax on an item that costs $8.00.

      So I must politely again point out that the original post is a mistake, 9+9+9=27 because they are like terms…. 9% income tax + 9% sales tax +9% business tax does not equal 27% tax rate (which usually implies income tax), because you can only add like terms.

      Also what keeps this from having everyone pay 40% tax in the future? I don’t know, that fact that no one will elect someone who campaigns on raising taxes on them, as it should be, as opposed to now where people cheer when successful people get the shaft on tax day. :)

      Justsomeguy 4th: Most of us already pay close to 9% sales tax.

      That’s a state tax. There is no federal sales tax. Creating a 9% federal sales tax doesn’t mean that your state can’t still collect it’s 8 or 9%, so you’ll be paying close to an 18% sales tax. This means the less money you make, the higher your tax rate. If your income barely covers your expenses, you will be paying 18% sales tax on most of your total income. The more your income exceeds your expenses, the smaller the percentage of the total income that has to go to the sales tax. This is going to be a real job killer, because the middle class who spend most of their money on goods and services are the real job creators, not the rich, whose tax rates are going to be going down, but who aren’t going to do any more for the rest of us than they have in the ten years since the last time we lowered their taxes.

      Chet you just don’t get it. The idea is without imbedded taxes the prices will go down due to market forces. Ounce implemented you should not be paying any more for goods and services than you are now. I should add that a provision can be included to tax only new goods. Sooner or later you and all the nay sayers are going to get on board because it is not working now. I think we can implement the right plan if everyone can agree that the current 60000 page tax code is a big problem. We could do it in a way that works best for all. It is very important. Cannot stress to you how important this is.

      What you don’t seem to get is that this will mostly benefit corporations in the financial sector. Companies that provide actual goods and services to consumers may end up paying more taxes, because they’ll have to pay the sales tax on all the materials they use, while corporate taxes are only levied on profits after expenses.

      I don’t “spend” 100% of my income. In fact, the majority of it goes towards food, mortgage, and utilities, none of which are taxable. The percentage of my income spent on taxable items like gas and clothing and toys? Probably less than 20%. What is a 9% tax on 20% of my income? Not much, and certainly not the same thing as the 9% income tax. And I don’t pay any business tax under the 999 plan, So that would put my total fed tax bill about 11%. Watch out, if Cain wins the nomination, or maybe before, the msm will be spouting this 27% nonsense.

      9-9-9 is 9% income, 9% sales and 9 % corperate you only pay the last 9% if you are corperate. So the tax is 9 + 9 = 18 % most middle class people pay 28% now. I’m a patriot and I would vote either Cain or Bachmann and have sent money to both. Cain and Bachmann are the only two running I trust.

      First, regarding TWINSPEEDR’s comment that “Paul is not a God-fearing man”,

      “Dr. Paul’s standing among Christian conservative voters is growing as people become more familiar with the man as well as the message,”said Ron Paul 2012Presidential Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

      “Dr. Paul is a humble man of faith, who has personally delivered more than 4,000 babies, so he’s well acquainted with the sanctity of life. And importantly, he never fails to connect the worthiness of the liberty message he champions with that system’s moral superiority over schemes that promote coercive government activism leading to the breakdown of the American family,”said Mr. Benton.
      Speaking of Dr. Paul’s speech earlier today Doug Wead, a born again Christian and former adviser to two U.S. Presidents, said he was blown away by Dr. Paul’s command of the scripture. ”He offered a scriptural rationale to every position and moved from one passage to the next without hesitation. The man knows the Bible.”

      Second, regarding URSAMAJOR’s comment that “Herman Cain was with the Tea Party movement from the very beginning. Ron Paul is a CAREER POLITICIAN with a 30 year history of flip-flopping like a goldfish out of its bowl who hitched a ride on the bandwagon.”

      Ron Paul is known as the Godfather of the Tea Party. “He planted the sod that these Tea Partiers walk on.” (Jon Stewart, http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-august-15-2011/indecision-2012—corn-p

      Former FED Director Cain said he would reappoint former Chairman Greenspan and not get rid of the Federal Reserve System. Romney said he thinks Bernanke is doing a good job and would reappoint him. He also would not get rid of the FED. He said he would allow the Bank to control our currency. He even refused to allow the possibility of the US Congress controling our currency. Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Kennedy and many other important politicians were against a centralized private bank controlling our currency, just as much as they were against a centralized bureaucratic body governing our country.

      Please research the Coinage Act of 1792. It implemented exactly the Power of Congress to “To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures”. Restore the Constitution. I can’t vote for Cain based on the principle of strictly following the Constitution and establishing just weights and measures.

      I think the reason NO ONE who is a REAL contender will abolish the FED is because they will have a huge target on their back… aka… assassination. I think they allow Ron Paul to talk like he does because they KNOW he will never win. This is just my opinion, everyone has one! :-)

      :D Same here. I’ve been a fan since before he officially announced his candidacy- though to be fair, his “dark horse” comment way back gave some of us a major hint he might be in the running. :)

      I honestly think he feels “called”, as Glenn Beck talked about, to do this. Which is really inspiring, when you compare him to an Al Gore type, who feels entitled. (barf!)

      (And as for Chris Christie, thank goodness he didn’t feel “called”! lol…I’ve thought for months now that just about anybody in a state like New Jersey could appear to be super conservative when you look at what there is to work with in NJ. Doesn‘t change the fact that Christie’d probably be a RINO by Texas standards.)

      Your on target brother, I’ve liked Cain from the first time I heard him talk about a run. What people don‘t understand about most of us tea party’ers is that we are color blind. We want a true conservative that wants whats best for our country. Herman Cain is that man. He has the best plan, he‘ll pick the best people for the job’s in DC, not the cronies like we have now. Cain know’s how to lead and how to delegate. We have a chance in this election to stop the socialist runaway train, but we also need a strong leader to get this country back to work and on it’s way back to greatness. Cain can do it!
