Herman Cain announced an economic plan Wednesday that includes eliminating taxes on capital gains. The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza turned presidential candidate, known for usually speaking in generalities when it comes to policy, came out with the plan while stumping in South Carolina. “The capital gains tax represents a wall between people with money and people with ideas," Cain said. "And people with ideas are the catalyst for new businesses and new job growth." Cain said this would also encourage companies to “invest in worker training programs, new equipment and emerging technologies.” Cain's "Economic Vision: Jobs for America" plan also includes lowering the top corporate and personal income tax rates to a maximum of 25 percent. He also proposes forming a commission to review and possibly eliminate government regulations. Cain claims his plan would cut the unemployment rate in half.

Why are Republicans ignoring record corporate profits over the last year?
Because most of them are in bed with hObama, the dems, and the corporations. Looks like Cain might be a conservative pro-American RINO like Ron Paul. Love to see them team up and slam the neo-libs/neo-con corporate globalist traitors.
