not not be taxed at all under the 9-9-9 plan. the fact is that it is who is going to be more likely to have capital gains that would escape taxation under the plan obviously will be people who are wealthy investor who is can afford to buy and sell stock on the stock market and escape taxation. i guess, mike, when they dismiss this as a ludicrous plan, it s not ludicrous for a man like herman cain. look, he is not the first person to suggest that capital gains should be lowered or eliminated, but he is if you contrast it with-and he is not the only person who would benefit. there hedge fund billionaires who benefit far more than he. if you look at the numbers and he becomes a very, very vivid example of the kind of person
he doesn t want to be associated. i reject that. you do? i know first off this is a man who said racism you cannot ascribe behavior and you don t know. you get a chance to ask why he didn t make it and had to get the answer. herman cain talked about his fight and battle and how he made it on his own. he was able to pull himself up and survive. i think that s a good american story that martin luther king and every other person would be proud of. i don t ascribe any ill will. i was supposed to be at the original one in august and i had a conflict and could not be there this could. i wouldn t want you to ascribe
