Back in the June 16th edition of Reality News I wrote a piece providing 5 reasons why Herman Cain would become the next President of the United States. I have reprinted it here for your review and reference. You will see all five of the elements I identified have converged to vault Cain into a top contender for the Republican Nomination.

Unlike other Tea Party type conservatives who experienced meteoric rises to the top only to undergo cataclysmic falls, Cain will prove to be different. The greatest reason separating Cain from these others lies in that he has clearly identified the real root cause of America’s woes. His 9-9-9 plan, genius in both marketing and workable application, presents a pathway to stop the damage of the death virus implanted in the US Constitution by the ratification of the Sixteenth amendment on February 3, 1913.

This plan will be the first enormous step toward eliminating the government conscription of labor and ideas, i.e. enslavement of the governed, the true reality of income tax. While the 9-9-9 plan does not eliminate the income tax, Cain’s plan converts it to a much less toxic form, a Flat Tax of a much smaller rate treating everyone equally. The Flat Tax reduces the drag of the income tax on the productive sector of the economy while eliminating tax deductions and the need for the IRS. The initiation of the national sales tax puts the tax collection vehicle in the correct spot in the economic process - at the end. But as Cain himself has said, his plan is just the stepping stone to the complete elimination of the income tax. And of course all of these tax changes will be done in conjunction with drastic reductions in spending and the size of the Federal Government.

All class warfare and tax loophole arguments disappear with the elimination of the income tax. The ability of politicians to use the income tax code to punish their adversaries and reward their friends and political cronies comes to an end. Pitting one social group against the other or perpetuating the victimization culture becomes much harder. The greatest tool of social engineering will no longer be available to progressive bureaucrats. And the greatest fascistic entity ever allowed to operate in America, the IRS, will be killed.

While the 9-9-9 plan treats the cause of America’s illness, the medicine correctly prescribed by Cain to treat the immediate symptoms of economic pain comes in the form of his domestic energy development policy. Not only will developing these resources have the immediate positive impacts of millions of new jobs and a very substantial reduction of energy prices, it puts America on the pathway to energy independence, making us less politically vulnerable to hostile regimes around the world.

No other Republican in the race for the GOP nomination has presented such a simply packaged and clearly defined plan, which correctly identifies the real problem of and real solution for America. He has not backed down from the truth regarding the brainwashing of the population nor when attacked on his “blackness” as interrogated by a certain Leftist pundit on MSNBC. He never hesitated to become the unabashed critic of the destroy Wall Street nonsense, articulately getting right to the heart of the matter.

There is no pretentiousness nor theater or insincerity in anything Cain says. He speaks from the heart with a genuine love of America and all it was created to be. His envisions leading us back to the America contained in our Constitution as created by our Founding Fathers. America needs a Herman Cain like never before. Let’s get him elected.
