Given the choice...

[FDF12389]

Let's say you get to decide between Ron Paul's restore America plan, or Cain's 9-9-9 plan.

Yes I know one is a tax reform and the other is a budget, but which one would be worse/better for the country?

 

[Ldir]

None of the above.

 

[FDF12389]

None of the above.

Let's pretend there are no other options.

No. No more lesser of two evils.

 

[FDF12389]

No. No more lesser of two evils.

That's not what I'm advocating(As far as voting goes). I'm just curious which one you guys think is worse.

 

[momeNt]

Maybe revise the poll to have Obama's Hope and Change

 

[Texashiker]

Equal time - why didn't you list a 3rd party candidate?

Both would be worse.

Let's pretend there are no other options.

Or we could live in reality and know that neither plan, and pretty much all plans of all candidates, Obama included, will not pass congress, no matter who controls congress.

 

[Texashiker]

no matter who controls congress.

That is one of the problems with our government, 1 party has the majority in congress.

What we need is a congress that is divided into 3rd or 4ths, so no one party controls the vote.

Feel free to make your own polls. I was curious as to which plan you guys thought was worse out of the two and why. That's what I wanted to know, so those are the options I put on the poll.

You don't have to participate.

Ron Paul's plan actually cuts taxes, Cain's doesn't. Cain's fiddles with the code, while the doctor's repeals a lot of the code by ending the CG Tax, reducing the corporate tax more than Romney would like to (35% now, 25% and reduced deductions with romney, vs. 15% with deductions in Restore America), and extends the current Tax Cuts plus medical expense deductions. Cain's plan doesn't reduce medical costs, Dr. Paul's does.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Mark me down for "None of the Above".

 

[Craig234]

Do I want to destroy the democracy and leave the people in poverty, or to give the wealth of the people to the rich and leave them in poverty. Hm, useful options.

 

[dawp]

both are non-starters for me.

 

[Ausm]

None of the above.

Need a third choice

So you prefer Obama's corporatism over Dr. Paul's laissez-faire capitalism? Just asking Corporatism is left of capitalism, but I don't see why you'd rather have someone who actively gives corporations extralegal power over someone who, by turning away from government activism, would end the prosperity of some of the wealthiest people in the country. Dr. Paul would end a lot of the wealth in one of the wealthiest areas of the coutnry (greater DC area) by getting rid of the FCC--by getting rid of the FCC, the real estate values there would plummet.

Also, Dr. Paul gets virtually nothing from corporations in campaign donations while Obama is bought by Wall Street, despite his rhetoric. Dr. Paul gets >=98% directly from the people. Your friends Kucinich, Nader, and Sanders prefer Dr. Paul over Obama and that's because Obama is a violent fascistic corporatist tyrant.

But if you really do like people having their earnings taken from them at gun point so that big corporations can have them and so people who make no effort to better society can have them, then I guess Dr. Paul isn't your candidate. I hope that's not the case however.

I'm not crazy about Cain's 999 plan, but that wouldn't stop me from voting for him. Even if he were elected, I don't think it'd see the light of day.

 

[xBiffx]

I prefer boxers to briefs.

You can't buy people out of poverty with welfare checks and food stamps.

 

[Craig234]

You can't buy people out of poverty with welfare checks and food stamps.

Actually, you can a lot more than you understand.

It's not that simple, of course.

 

[irishScott]

My choice in that scenario would be Obama's speechify-hope plan.
