Herman Cain in Speech at 2011 CPAC conference

On Principles & Values: Liberals SIN: Shift the subject; Ignore facts; Name-call

Liberals employ the SIN-tactics. They don't have a strategy; they have an objective. The objective of the liberals is to destroy this country. The objective of the liberals is to make America mediocre like everybody else who aspire to be like America. But let me tell you something about mediocrity: it's not in America's DNA.

They are trying to destroy this country at all costs. They have only three tactics: S-I-N. They shift the subject; they ignore facts; and they name-call.

On Tax Reform: Attack of the "ations": regulation; legislation, taxation

The American Dream is under attack. But the good news is, we are fighting back. It is under attack by what I describe as "The Attack of the Ations": Too much legislation; too much regulation; & too much taxation. The attack of the "ations" is killing the American Dream.

Too much regulation: The cost of regulatory compliance on a small business is $10,000 per employee. Imagine the number of small businesspeople who are reluctant to expand their businesses because of the uncertainty hanging over this economy. Imagine what would happen if we are able to unleash the full economic potential of this country.
Too much legislation: I didn't have to mention cap-and-trade-and-tax-and-kill. I didn't have to mention the Unfairness Doctrine. I didn't have to mention any of the others they're trying to put in through the back door.
Too much taxation: The only way to fix our messed up tax code is to throw it out and put in a whole new system called the FairTax. Throw it out and start over.
