The Strange Little Mind of Judge Allen Baddour

Coming soon: The results of a 5 year investigation of Judge R. Allen Baddour

These people just don't get it. I hope the American people do. Today they went round and round, as they always do about how President Obama needs to do more to jumpstart the econony. They cannot and WILL NOT address the fact that he is not King Obama. He cannot say "we are going to do this or we are going to do that!" Ford and Welch even praised Herman Cain's stupid 9-9-9 plan. Saying, it ...has some holes in it, but at least it's abold and simple plan. I have a 50-50-50 plan that simply states everyone should give me 50% of their income. It might seem fair. It might not cure the economy, but hell, it's bold and simple. The ugly little secret that nobody wants to admit is that we are stuck on stupid because of racism. Congress would rather destroy the country than have a black man as POTUS for another 4 years. I'm so tired of people like Harold Ford, who got his butt thrown out, making these poitical pronoucements like he could simply tell these people in Congress to put their robes and hoods in the closet for the good of the country; and that would turn things around. Disgusting...

Herman Cain

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan should be labeled Nein-Nein-Nein (No-No-No). “The poor would pay more while the rich would have their taxes cut, with no guarantee that economic growth will increase and a good reason to believe that the budget deficit will increase.” That’s because two of Cain’s three 9s – the income tax and the national sales tax -- would disproportionately impact the 47% of tax filers ......who don’t pay any federal income tax under the current system – many of whom are elderly or poor. The extra money paid by these people would in effect subsidize the huge tax break for wealthier Americans who currently pay as much as 35% in federal income tax. And for the middle class – that shrinking group of consumers whose spending on goods and services is key to keeping the economy rolling – the 9% sales tax might discourage purchases on non-essential items. Or, as Cain himself has suggested, it might encourage them to buy used goods instead, which he says would be exempt from the tax. There is no such exemption for necessities like groceries. So, poor people who can only afford to spend on basic needs would see their cost of living increase 9%.
