Look! Herman Cain the Pizza Man has a plan to save America:

The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza advocated a maximum tax of 25 percent on company profits and personal income, and end to the capital gains tax.

He said the U.S. must get its debt under control and that companies should not pay taxes on overseas profits that are invested back home.

A national sales tax should replace the federal income tax, he said, giving individuals and companies "certainty" about making purchases and investments. He wants a "restructuring" of Social Security so people can invest in their own retirement funds.

Cain believes this plan will reduce unemployment to at least 5%, although his campaign doesn't have any real numbers to back that up. (My thoughts on Cain's economic platform...and Cain's pizza...can be found in this week's feature.) My favorite part of the story is the end:

"I love what he had to say about Social Security," said Maria Jose Lehman, 45, of Greenville. Lehman said she worked for a financial services firm and is convinced that young people should be allowed to save for their own retirement.

I agree with Lehman. It is absolutely criminal how the government doesn't allow young people to save for their retirements. I hate that my 401(K) and savings accounts were seized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms as illegal contraband. Damn Marxists!
