nope, that was an extra 10 cents I didn't need to spend.

The debate is also being livestreamed on http://www.bloomberg.com/tv/

It's free.

Sorry but over an hour later, halfwits,dimwits and nitwits. What a bunch of losers.Bad ideas and no ideas. Empty rhetoric and zero substance. Pandering and posturing with no reality.

Republican debate at Dartmouth focuses on Herman Cain

The Republican presidential candidates found their target for the evening: Herman Cain and his “9-9-9” tax plan.

The former pizza executive has thrilled Republican primary voters with his proposal to toss out the U.S. tax code and replace it with 9 percent taxes on business, income and sales. But now that he’s swiftly rising in the polls, his rivals are clearly hoping to puncture his political balloon.

“How many people here are for a sales tax in New Hampshire?” Rick Santorum asked the debate audience at Dartmouth College, drawing little response. “There you go, Herman. That’s how many votes you’ll get in New Hampshire.”

Jon Huntsman was also dismissive of Cain’s plan, jabbing: “I thought it was the price of a pizza.” (quit stealing my material, John)

Amazing how easy it is to find fault with and dismiss an idea, as opposed to finding ways to improve it.

How can you improve an idea that is fatally flawed?

Maybe start by ideas to remove the flaws, rather than totally disregarding it?

Or, take the good parts, and modify/merge them with something else?

You should be talking to the other Republican candidates who totally dismissed Cain's 999 plan.

Here are a list of countries with a flat tax, as Herman Cain proposes:

Bosnia and Herzegovina , Bulgaria, Albania, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Guernsey, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Jersey, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Mongolia, Montenegro, Mauritius, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine.

They are not the countries that we generally seek to emulate.
