What Do You Get When You Turn 9-9-9 Upside Down? Bachmann Pokes Fun At Cain’s Plan

Brining some needed levity to a rather tame GOP presidential debate, Michele Bachmann poked fun at Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan, saying that “the devil’s in the details.” An obvious quip that, when turned on its head, 9-9-9 is actually 6-6-6 — the sign of Satan.
Bachmann also said Cain‘s proposal isn’t a jobs plan, but rather a tax plan.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 11:13pmMe too. I respected this congresswoman, but to denigrate Cain’s plan, without coming up with a plan of her own, is awful. Just about everyone agrees that the tax code needs to be redone, and with every tax code, future liberal congresses can abuse the system, but it still needs to be done. What is your plan Michelle? Very disappointed indeed.

Obama said he would not raise taxes on people under 250,000 , well guess what: APRIL FOOL’S!!! Because that was the day in 2009 he snuck in a bunch of new taxes most people didn’t even notice because the current tax code is not transparent.
999 is transparent. Which makes for more TEA Party’s if they try to raise it…

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 5:49pmIt was definitely childish on B’s part to say that same for Hunstmans comment. For those who say whats to stop them raising taxes…the 9 9 9 plan would be transparent, the left would be unable to raise taxes on the rich without raising it on the poor also. No politician would be able to raise this without everyone knowing and everyone voting them out. In regards to this being a 27% increase in taxation no no it wouldn’t. Say an item costs $100 currently to make ($50 in labor and $50 in goods) with this tax rate you get 26% savings (corporate tax down from 35 to 9) the labor cost would remain the same or go down (the same if they give there peeps a raise to compensate for the 15% in taxes the corporation is currently paying for that employee if they give the employee a raise to compensate for that then guess what you wont notice that 9%income tax if your pay goes up 7 to 15%) anyway I digress, so that item goes from being $100 to $74 then you take on 9% of that and your looking at about $81 after the plan for that $100 item. And that’s a simplistic view if you tack in the savings their supplier is having as well your looking at closer to $75 for that item. Someone with a better mathematical and economical mind then mine could probably explain this to exact numbers.

More than the needed states to pass this amendment were not worded correctly.

Also, don’t forget: it costs American taxpayers and corporations hundreds of billions of dollars in time and labor every year just to fill out tax forms. Then there’s the cost of operating the IRS. Throwing out the tax code and establishing the 9-9-9 plan will allow us to lay off nearly all of the 100,000+ people who works at the IRS (allowing them to move on to a productive job), thus saving taxpayers billions, and it will allow corporations and individuals to save many more billions by not having to spend nearly as much time and resources doing taxes.
And with a widened tax base, the rate can be lower (hence the 9%). AND the sales tax does not apply to used goods. So people will be able to leverage thriftiness to save more money.

Economist and former Reagan adviser Arthur Laffer says Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan is a good one.
“(The) plan was designed to be what economists call ‘static revenue neutral,’ which means that if people didn’t change what they do under his plan, total tax revenues would be the same as they are under our current tax code,” Laffer writes in The Wall Street Journal, adding that he believes that with the boost Cain’s plan would give to economic growth it would bring in even more revenue than expected.
“Once the dynamics take hold, many of those below the poverty line will find good jobs and thus will rise above the poverty line and start paying taxes,” says Laffer.

No, the answer is a national sales tax, but only after we abolish the income tax. Ron Paul has that right and Cain has been exposed as a Fed insider.

You have no clue what you are talking about.
Here is the plan, contrary to your ramblings.
9% flat tax for individuals (less tax than most are currently paying, unless you pay no tax, in which case it is time you pay a fair share)
9% flat tax for businesses (less than currently paying, savings passed on to individuals and or reivested back into the business)
9% national tax. Businesses collect this, they do not pay more. Therefore, no additional expenses to pass on to anyone. Buyers pay more, but they pay more only as they buy more.
Is this plan my ideal? Hell no. My ideal is one flat tax rate of 10% for everyone, end of story. However, this plan will both help the economy and lower the taxes for most workers and certainly make the taxes more fair for others.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 11:12pmRon Paul has been invited on Bloomberg and the other financial channels to talk about economic and monetary policy, more than ALL of these other clowns COMBINED. He left more economic knowledge in the toilet this morning, than these other actors could muster up in a lifetime.
He is a GIANT among mental midgets.
Newt is quick, but he’s also a dirty insider, who already had a failed “Contract with America” which turned out to be just more of the same BS. He also has a TON of baggage like leaving his wife with cancer for another woman. Not to mention he’s a johnny come lately to the “Federal Reserve issue.”
Perry can’t even PRONOUNCE Keynesian economics, much less understand the difference between it and the Austrian School.
Cain, thinks a Burger King value menu approach will get people excited, but his plan is just more rhetoric, and a pipeline for a value added tax. Plus he lied about the “Federal Reserve Audit” remarks.
Bachmann has always been a birdbrain. She can’t even rip off Ron Paul competently.
Romney, has flip flopped so many times, he doesn‘t know if he’s a pancake or a politician.
Santorum, isn’t even worth keystrokes.
Neither is Huntsman.
THE WHOLE REASON RON PAUL GOT INTO POLITICS WAS BECAUSE NIXON DECOUPLED THE DOLLAR FROM GOLD, AND HE KNEW ALL THE WAY BACK THEN THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE ECONOMIC TROUBLE.

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 2:53pmRon Paul supported the trophy mosque, which was rather stupid. Ron Paul is an isolationist and would make a pss-poor leader regarding foreign policy, and Ron Paul has this knack for supporting the right things in all the wrong ways. He is not a good leader. He says the stupidest things, even when he is supporting a correct concept. We can do much better than Ron Paul.
A small example was when the US citizen fighting against us in Afghanistan was killed. He should have welcomed his death, and then and only then explained that he had an issue with the methodolgy.
Ron Paul is not hitting on all cylyndars and never will be. He is a joke. A half leader, half smart, and a half-wit.

The number of God is 7, which represents wholeness, or completeness or a general Godly nature. The number 6 represents the cheap substitute that is not quite there yet. In other words it represents worldy man, man’s way, or the natural man. And natural man is an enemy to God. God commands to put off the natural man and work towards becoming a Godly man. Therefore, if any man is an enemy of God, then he can be represented by the number 6, or 666 for added emphasis.

The people at the top of finance (anyone at Goldman-Sachs, Federal Reserve Chairman Herman Cain, and their ilk,) are in the group of people who, along with government and government-affiliated-agency folks who supported them, should be put against the wall for destroying our economies, worldwide.

Mr. Cain said many times those who want to audit the Fed need to call them so they will tell you how it works. Thus Mr Cain is implying if you want to audit the Fed you are ignorant.
Mr. Cain openly lied or jumped around what he said: if you are calling for an audit of the Fed, you need to call them to gain understanding, essentially you are ignorant.
If Mr. Cain was honest he’d say yes I said you are ignorant for calling for a Federal audit.

For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.
In analogical and universal dynamics one can only lean on that which will resist.
