Well, it's a fact that politicians have been lying for years ... sorry to burst your bubble.

Rev 19:9-10 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. |

I'm wondering if what comes out of this interview might change several Republican's minds on Cain, and cost Cain the Republican nomination. Essentially, Cain said that while he personally opposes abortion he does not believe that the government should make that decision for families -- in other words, Cain is Pro-Choice politically.
You can read about the interview, with the clip where he talks about abortion (and homosexuality) here.

I believe the 47% number is a few years old.
According to an analysis by the joint committee on taxation: 51% of Americans Pay No Federal Income Taxes - Derek Thompson - Business - The Atlantic 51% of Americans Pay No Federal Income TaxesBy Derek Thompson
May 4 2011, 9:05 AM ET 113 Half of American tax payers owe no federal income tax, and most of those filers actually net tax benefits from federal income taxes, according to analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation in a letter to the Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee.

And you think, somehow, that businessmen don't?
Add to that, Cain is now a politician.
