I think that taxes would be fair if we first get rid of the tax code.

The Democrats co-opted the credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you go back and look at the history, a larger percentage of Republicans voted for that than did Democrats. But a Democrat president signed it, so they co-opted credit for having passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

There are people who make things happen. There are people who watch things happen and then there are people who ask well, what in the heck happened?

Just call me Mr. Cain. And in 2013, they can call me Mr. President.

It's not about me, it's about the grandkids. That's what a lot of people don't understand about what Herman is up to.

That's the biggest problem, is the tax code itself.

The lesson that I'm learning is that I've got to be careful of being pigeonholed because people can take a piece of tape and edit out the first half and only pull out one snippet that could start a firestorm.
