Cain says God persuaded him to run for president

[mrplunkey]

Oh, so back in the day, when taxes were 70-90% for the upper class (1930s to 1980s), no one was trying what you call "tax mitigation strategies". Or even During Bush 1 to Clinton, when the top tax rate was higher than now (39%).

But now that the black guy is President, and taxes for the rich are historically low, while their income is historically high, the rich are more motivated than ever to implement these strategies?

BZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

SORRY. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.

This is where you and your ilk take a credibility hit.

It's well established that I'm a mean-spirited capitalist. Supposedly I'm willing to trade my young for the all-mighty dollar.

So why would I care about the skin color of the president?

1. housing market crash, which triggered the economic crash, was not bush's fault not sure how you can link the two.

Housing market crash was a symptom, not a root cause.

did I read "trade your young for the all-mighty dollar"? Because you have some attractive young for trade. Jus' sayin'

the bubble was bound to burst sooner or later, peeps were living above their income...proly better it burst when it did as opposed to growing more.
from what i understand (and i don't claim to be a economist) the way subprime lending was set up it was an inevitable burst, strung along by lax congressional inquiry

Do you harp on my term "black guy" because you can't debate the point I made?

Sorry I hit a sensitive point. I know a lot of Republicans want to call Obama a Muslim, Kenyan, Nigerian, Foreigner Socialist, but insist it has nothing to do with race.
Many of them call him Barry, which is popular with the birther crowd, implying that he has some kind of secret identity. You seem to have no problem with that.
do you?

If you think there is no racial element to the fact that people think Obama is a socialist, and Obama is a tax fiend, even though taxes are historically low, well, you are just wrong.

Plunkey tried to pass off the notion that Obama makes people scared that taxes will be high, which hurts busienss, even though they have gone down, not up. Overall his whole presumption is false, but for those who are scared of socialism, and buying that lie, there is a racial component to it. I'd be surprised if anyone could honestly deny that.

He went by the name "Barry" growing up.

i can't debate the "point" you'v made cause it is such a weak kneejerk desperate attempt to link your Hero with racism in order to paint his detractors as raving KKK members and score another shitty term...GW was called such terrible things over his term and I really doubt you gave a fuck about any of them, you probably supported those comments and still do...what comes around goes around my socialist/kenyan/muslim loving dude.
and i bought you a temp plat and zero gratitude, what a waste thanks

omg you seething racist, you want black people swinging from trees just like your Tea Partier bros!!!

america wasn't ready for a black president it is evident...the racists on the right don't like him for obvious reasons, and the reactionaries on the left can't handle criticism and have created a bigger gulf in racial relations by their constant bleating of racist.

See Plunkey, that's why you shouldn't vote for dumb people.
It's ok if you were wrong. You're just a guy who likes to pretend he has an understanding of things. Kind of like Bush. But Bush was President. Presidents are supposed to have vision, a deep understanding of issues, and the ability to make good decisions when faced with a very complex set of facts. You can't do that, which is ok. Bush couldn't do that, which was a disaster for America.
Think about the group of Republican dim wits who want to be President and how they could handle a very complex problem that could effect the lives of millions. Scary huh? Think about that in the voting booth people! Stupid is not ok for a Presidential candidate!

Before you tell me how smart they are, I'll just point out that at least 4 of them said that God told them to run for President!
