The OFFICIAL (10/11/11) Debate Thread! - Bloomberg / WaPo @ Dartmouth

Why do these idiots keep talking in the background whenever they have someoen else on the screen?
 
Hi I've been lurking around. Anyways, a link to a video that contains ron asking the question to cain, the greenspan comment, and the not president forever remark would be appreciated. The stream seemed to crap out every time ron paul was talking :mad:
 
Wow, not a single mention of Ron Paul post-debate. EVERY one else got mentioned, but not Ron Paul. Jeezus... This is enraging!

Trust me, there will be a Ron Paul compilation on youtube by tomorrow, and pretty certainly on here, as well.

I'm counting on it too. Couldn't watch.

Welcome to the forums!

Too bad the fact checkers won't bother looking that up

You know, you're right - but what if you were wrong?

How galacticly awesome would it be to see the Democrat-centric MSM use that as a club and just beat him senseless with it...
 
Guys, I don't know why it hasn't been pointed out yet by anyone in the media or anywhere, that I recall, but when Cain says that Americans pay 15.3% in payroll taxes, that is simply "DEAD WRONG". I'm a CPA so I do this for a living, individuals pay 7.65% ant the business pays the other half. So his 999 plan will increase taxes to most Americans.

Cain was all confused on that payroll tax answer. He was claiming that the 9% would replace the payroll tax, but then he claims the 9% would replace the income tax. Here are the real numbers:

PAY NOW
Payroll tax: 7.65% paid by employee; 7.65% paid by employer
Individual income tax: 10% - 35% marginal paid by employee
Corporate income tax: 15% - 39% marginal paid by employer

CAIN PLAN
Individual income tax: 9% flat paid by employee, no deductions
Corporate income tax: 9% flat paid by employer, no deductions
National sales tax: 9%

So Cain doesn't even know what his own plan does...
 
I predict everyone on this stage endorses Romney cept Paul. And Paul's is the only endorsement that Romney needs to have any chance of beating Obama.
 
As a CPA you should understand this better then.

There's no such thing as the business paying anything. No matter how they fudge the accounting, the employee pays all of it.

After an economics debate? Not a chance.

Doubtless Fox will toss us something on cable in the middle of the day and on internet.
