Mr. Cain, since you were chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, perhaps you can explain how Federal Reserve Notes can legally contain on their face the words “THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE”? I ask this because when our founding fathers where framing our Constitution, specifically on August 16th of the Convention (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_816.asp),they voted to forbid a power to Congress to "emit bills on the credit of the U. States", and their intentions as stated in the debates was to forbid notes of any kind being made a “legal tender” which if allowed, would force people to accept worthless paper script in payment of debt. Is it not a fact that Federal Reserve Notes are in defiance of the documented intentions under which our Constitution was adopted?


Mr. Cain, since you are a big supporter of the “fairtax” (H.R.25), is it not true that the text of the proposal makes no attempt to withdraw from Congress’ power its authority to lay and collect “excise” taxes which may be calculated from profits and gains as were laid under the Corporate Excise Tax of 1909, prior to the adoption of 16th Amendment, and was upheld as constitutional in Flint vs. Stone Tracy? In addition, is it not a fact that under the fairtax proposal a Sales Tax Bureau is created to collect two new taxes ___ a 23 percent tax upon the sale of newly manufactured property, and, a 23 percent tax upon the sale of property which working people have in their labor, and this Sales Tax Bureau is in addition to an Excise Tax Bureau which is also created under your fairtax proposal which will be there to collect any new excise taxes Congress may dream up, and may be calculated from profits, gains, salaries and other incomes?

Mr. Cain, is it not a fact that under your fairtax proposal a new entitlement would be created, the largest in American history called the “family consumption allowance”, and under that entitlement those who are on the public dole and not gainfully employed would receive a monthly bonus check from the federal government? Additionally, we know how progressives use entitlements to buy votes during election time by promising to increase the entitlements. If the fairtax were adopted, can we not expect to hear our progressive crowd on Capitol Hill giving the following speech during federal elections?



How dare those who have imposed the fair tax on our nation’s poor, now refuse to increase the family consumption allowance to relieve the oppressive nature of a tax which taxes the food a mother buys to feed her child, taxes the clothing she purchases to cloth that child, taxes the fuel used to heat that child’s room during winter, taxes the medicine a mother needs to care for a sickly child, and then taxes the coffin used to bury her child because she could not afford the taxes imposed upon every imaginable necessity of life!

Mr. Cain, if you really want tax reform, and want and end to taxes calculated from profits, gains, salaries and other incomes, why not propose the following 32 words to be added to our Constitution which would bring us back to our Constitution’s original tax plan as our founders intended it to operate:


The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the united States is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money


So tell me, who among the following list of conservative talk show hosts will ask Herman Cain the above questions: Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Schnitt, Mark Levin, Dennis Prager, Bill O'rielly, Mike Gallagher, Lee Rodgers, Neal Boortz. Tammy Bruce, Monica Crowley …. WHO?
