Herman Cain Steals Tax Plan From PBS Children’s Show

Posted by Matt on Friday, October 14th, 2011

Herman Cain is the latest Flavor of the Week competing with Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination.  That flavor is ‘pepperoni.’ Cain has been touting his unfeasible and regressive 9-9-9 tax plan, and MAN is it catchy.

However, I just can’t shake the feeling I’ve heard this all before. In song.
