Still shows to many crumbs in the “substance” box.

This is 100% projection of Obama’s administration. All-hype—zero substance. To answer dtroutma’s retort, Obama’s substance “box” is scrubbed clean. BTW, explain (if you can) how this depiction is accurate. Set the record straight for us.

This depiction is accurate because Cain is all rhetoric and no substance. None of his policies make any sense, and the closer you look at them, the less sense they make. He’s also very free with calling most Americans un-American, and that’s part of America’s history I’d just as soon not relive.

JA-JA-JA!

Which is why libs scare me…they are greedy enough to take everyone’s freedom away to satiate their hunger for power.

So, when liberals attacks Cain’s policies, I can call them racist, right? I mean fair is fair…

Just chnge the Cain to Obama.

As several people have already commented, the cartoon makes much more sense if the Cain figure is replaced with Obama. At 1000 days into his “hope & change” Nirvana, Obama has shown himself to be the penultimate example of rhetoric over substance. Spend other people’s money, blame others for all wrongs and avoid any personal responsibility will be O’s legacy.

Obama wants to spread the wealth. Cain wants to spread the responsibility of being an American TO ALL Americans. Too long, the duty, the accountability, has slowly been shifted by Washington DC bureaucrats, to the backs of fewer & fewer fellow countrymen; more & more “freeloading citizens” & illegal immigrants are riding on my back and the backs of my fellow RESPONSIBLE, LEGAL, HARD WORKING Americans!!! GET OFF AND START WALKING!!!!!

If you believe you’re acting in the best interest of your children by voting to move the majority of this nations wealth into the hands of 2% of it’s population, talk to me in twenty years.

The only way most complaints against Cain’s policies are “racist” is if you think opinions and accurate observations on nuts are racist. Brazil, filbert, acorns, or wall- nuts.

Looks like a racist cartoon. What’s wrong? Can’t an intelligentAfrican American be successful in the traditional hard working American way? He’s done more than pizza. How ’bout you?

Answer to Robert: These stats are from the IRS, per the CBO. In 2007, the top 1% paid more Federal income tax than the lower 95% combined! Look at this 2008 CBO report: http://www.heritage.org/budgetchartbook/top10-percent-income-earners then tell me the “wealthy” aren’t covering the FREELOADER"S BUTTS! Even then 49% paid NO federal income tax. 2009 & 2010 will be even higher; the government never really lowers its take.

Would the Cain/Koch universal 9% sales tax idea mean a 9% sales tax on each purchase of corporate stock? .That would slow down day-trading, commodity-trading, etc. on Wall St.— that’s for sure! .If not, how could it be called fair to charge the 99% of our population that 9% on the commodities they buy. Someone should ask Mr. Cain about this.

Does the universal 9% sales tax mean the Cain and his friends would pay a 9% sales tax when they buy (acquire) another company? Might lead to a lot fewer mergers.

OR is this how he would see it working ???

Someone should ask him.

Keynesian economics has done just fine, thank you very much. It’s trickle-down economics that has failed every time. Bush “spent his way out of our problems,” without paying for anything, and surprise! ended up with huge deficits and a failed economy. Obama stopped the fall, but didn’t spend enough to get it turned around, and now he’s being blocked at every turn, because the GOP knows that government spending is the only thing that creates jobs when private companies — even with record profits — won’t hire people. And without a lousy economy, why would anyone vote GOP? What have they got to offer? Nothing. It took WWII to get us out of the great depression, and WWII was a massive government spending program.

What baloney.
