In the bible, Cain killed his brother Abel…think of how mind bending that must be for a young Herman Cain…that is a lot to measure up to, but our very own Herman Cain fully intends to live up to his namesake. Why do I think he will win? Well, it is easy to read the tea leaves…and the Tea Party…hatred of Mormons will trump hatred of Blacks.

Why did I reference the Bible story? Well like Cain in the story, if Herman Cain’s 999 plan…or as Bachmann put it the ‘Devil is in the details’ 666 plan, comes to fruition, the poor will surely die in great numbers, while the rich in this country will see their tax rates plummet by some 17%.

:snip:

According to economists and also quoted here in this Think Progress article, as Center for American Progress Vice President for Economic Policy Michael Ettlinger put it, the plan “would be the biggest tax shift from the wealthy to the middle-class in the history of taxation, ever, anywhere, and it would bankrupt the country.” In essence, it would have the effect of cutting Federal Revenues in half, while causing more of a financial burden on the poor and the dwindling middle class.

According to Think Progress, Herman Cain held an official position in the Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity, Dating back to 2005.
Cain’s campaign manager is the former president of Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin chapter.
Cain attended the Koch Brothers’ private biannual meeting in Palm Springs.
Cain traveled to Wisconsin in support of the Koch-funded union-busting bill.
Cain headlined a Koch-funded anti-climate rally in New York.
Cain was a featured speaker at the Koch-funded RightOnline conference…and the list goes on and on.

So, hail to the new Republican nominee, Christian Herman Koch-Cain!!

Extensive ties to a powerful Koch group boost Cain

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Herman Cain has cast himself as the outsider, the pizza magnate with real-world experience who will bring fresh ideas to the nation's capital. But Cain's economic ideas, support and organization have close ties to two billionaire brothers who bankroll right-leaning causes through their group Americans for Prosperity.

Cain's campaign manager and a number of aides have worked for Americans for Prosperity, or AFP, the advocacy group founded with support from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. Cain credits a businessman who served on an AFP advisory board with helping devise his plan to rewrite the nation's tax code. And his years of speaking at AFP events have given the businessman and radio host a network of loyal grassroots fans.

The little-known businessman's political activities are getting fresh scrutiny these days since he soared to the top of some national polls.

His links to the Koch brothers could undercut his outsider, non-political image among tea party fans who detest politics as usual and candidates connected with the party machine.
