Both Cain and Joe were present at a CPAC event in Washington D.C., where Cain said he was pleased with the fact that Joe supported his 9-9-9 tax plan. Cain talked mostly about himself and the reason for him deciding not to run – wanting to stay out of “gutter politics” and family considerations.
Joe, who is planning to run for the 9th District in Ohio in the 2012 House of Representatives elections, has not given up plans on becoming rich.
“I am middle class, I do not have to protect the rich, I want to be rich one day. I’m as blue collar as they come,” Joe said.
Explaining his views on Cain’s plan he said:
“Is it going to be a flat tax? Is it going to be a fair tax? Is it going to be Herman Cain’s bold new 9-9-9 plan? I tell you what, all three of them are a great idea, let’s get the legislation up there, let’s get the change so we can get businesses back in this country and people back to work, that’s how we do it.”
