pretty damn good. There was a couple times where Cain just plain bullshitted L.O. and got away with it. For one Cain said he drew a high number on the lottery, that's just BS Cain was born in 1945 the lottery was in 1969. I was born in 1948 and was drafted in 1968 and served my time by early 1970. Herman Cain would have been eligible for the draft in 1964 and he got himself deferred until he was 24 years old in 1969. Once he knew he had a high number in the lottery he then made himself eligible for the draft. Then on taxes he said the working poor pay 15% in payroll taxes alone and under his plan they would only 9% income tax and L.O. let him escape that one. Employees only pay half of that in payroll tax and the employer pays the other half. Under Cain's plan everyone pays 9% income tax and 9% sales tax on everything they buy. The tax on working poor would go from 6% payroll tax and no income tax or maybe even a tax credit to a minimum of 18%. His tax more than doubles the tax on the people that have the least.
The Dick pulled the same BS with the lottery. He got deferment after deferment then when he found out in 1969 he had a high number he then made himself eligible. Half of my graduating class pulled that BS. They screwed around in college until 1969 and then when they got a high number and knew they were safe they dropped out.
