Thanks, Donal.

It's hard to know what to make of it. Stupidity would be one conclusion. The other is that the bottom half is being vilified as a form of offense on Obama's tax increases. So the bottom half paying more taxes is just fine.

It has also come out that Cain has close ties to the Koch bros. through the pac Americans for Prosperity and has spent a great deal of time as a motivational speaker. I think it's possible that Cain's bounce might have been related to the databases that the Koch bros. have.

Via Bob Cesca and ThinkProgress, Herman Cain on Press the Meet:

CAIN: There is a huge amount of public support for 999. Just talk to anybody. This is what’s going to help us get it passed. The public support.

GREGORY: I just want to break that down. So you’re acknowledging this morning, which I haven’t heard you do before, that there are individuals who are going to pay more in taxes.

CAIN: There are some, yes.

GREGORY: And you think those people are going to rally around tax reform where the wealthy pay less and middle-class and lower-income folks pay more.

CAIN: Yes.

As Genghis has just alluded to in Dagblog's banner line the site's wall to wall coverage on Romney, I should suggest the thought here that all of the above really might have more significance to, especially when you take out 15 or 20 percent allocated to Paul and outliers, how a path is created for Romney than to anything else.

In a Clarus Research poll released yesterday Perry, Cain and Romney line up 23,21, and 17 respectively. Perry got more tea partiers than Cain.

Doth Perriwinkle's southern comfort indicate intoxication which could spread to Iowa, S.C., etc?

And how about the near perfect three way split?

Or a 1% tax on the bottom 99%

The 9% plan was pulled out of the air, there's absolutely no research on it.

It's a conversation starter though

- 9% income tax,
- 9% national sales tax, and
- 9% corporate income tax

9 + 9 + 9 = 27

0 + 0 + 27 = 27

I like that idea. Probably ninety cents a trade would pay down the deficit. Or a 9% solution up Joe the Plumbers rear end might solve political gridlock. (just sounded like a good idea).

I am for a 9 approach!

How about a 9% tax on all transfers of stock! That would include shares sold on the market; shares sold in the form of bonuses and shares used as collateral on loans.

I think this would PAY FOR EVERYTHING. hahahahahah
