Herman "Con Man" Cain: Keeping it Simple!
We have all heard Herman Cain's plan to strengthen the U.S. economy if elected as president. Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine percent income tax. Nine percent corporate tax. Nine percent federal sales tax. (on top of state & local sales tax)
It does sound simple. Doesn't it? It's almost cute. However, the reason Herman Cain would be an awful, destructive president is even more simple. He laid it all out with one simple answer to one simple question.
From the GOP/Tea debates on September 12th:
What will you do to ensure that energy independence will finally become a reality?
Cain: Remove barriers by the federal government. I would start with an EPA that's gone wild.
There you go. Herman "Con Man" Cain says the EPA has gone wild. Simply put, he's just another puppet for Big Coal & Oil.
That brings us to our latest installment (from NOAA) of why the EPA does not have enough regulations as it is. (below the fold)
The reports are out for September from NOAA.
On Common Ambitions, Or, Occupy Wall Street Likes Capitalism – Sort Of

Well I’m finally back here at work after another recent series of personal adventures; in the middle of all the fun I’ve been finding time to get down to my local “Occupy” event, and for those of you who have not been keeping up I thought we’d take a moment today to compare a bit of Fox-driven perception to the reality I’ve been seeing. What I’ve been told to expect, at least in certain quarters of the public space, are dirty filthy hippies with no jobs or ambitions hoping to destroy America while having deviant public couplings fueled by the free distribution of dangerous psychotropic drugs. Sadly, I’ve found that there’s not really much truth in that description, even as tiny bits of it do ring true; but with a manifesto in hand and a few conversations under my belt we’ll see what we can do to create a picture that will surprise a lot of the 99% who already support Occupy Wall Street, even if they don’t know it yet.
Individuals or individual states may call themselves what they please: but the world, and especially the world of enemies, is not to be held in awe by the whistling of a name.
