I agree.

I cannot support Cain, because his plan relies on a variable tax, that could leave the government underfunded in a downturn economy, and, I do not think there should be a single flat tax. I am for a simple tax structure, but tiered, with 3-4 tax rate tier levels, so that the wealthy do not get a bigger break than is fair.

I think the poor should have a single rate, the middle class 2 rates……upper, and lower, and the rich another rate. I also feel, that there should be a minimum tax rate for all citizens, at those rate levels, which they are REQUIRED to pay. No citizen, no matter how poor, should be considered too poor, to pay something, towards the operation of our government, even it is just $50.

We used to be the Greatest Generation when Americans worked together. We had our differences but we all compromised and worked together on what was good for this country.

Today it’s the “Me Only Generation”. It’s not what is good for all of us but just what is good for me. Give me everything I want or I’ll destroy everything.

We complain about our politians, then look the other way when they receive millions of dollars in campaign contributions from corporations, unions, PACs and every other self interest group. Washington is overrun by lobbyists whose job is to pay these representative s money to represent them instead of the people. We can’t even get together on how to stop it. We believe every political ad on TV is true.

We now send less than 1% of our young men and women to war while 99 % worry about where their next beer or high is coming from. There should be a law that if our country enters a conflict that the draft should automatically be triggered. Those who object on moral grounds should have to serve at least 2 years in the Peace Corps or VISTA.

Wake up America, we have seen the enemy and it is us.
