"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion. When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you... you may know that your society is doomed."

Quote from Atlas Shrugged

I typically find myself feeling pretty apathetic when it comes to politics. I'm tired of empty promises, lack of checks and balances, and people who say they know what they are doing, but really don't have a freaking clue.

We got "Change" in the last election, but it wasn't necessarily the change we want or needed. In January 2009 when Obama took office, unemployment was at 7.8%, now it is 9.1%. The stimulus didn't work. It didn't produce those millions of jobs that the politicians promised. It may have helped things maintain the sucky status quo, but it certainly didn't help America grow or prosper. 

What type of intelligent business person dumps trillions of dollars into a failing business model? Capital like that will sustain a business for a while, but if you don't innovate and change the business model, that capital will eventually dry up and you are stuck in the same situation you were before, BUT you are now just in huge debt. This is exactly where we are at as a Nation.

I believe it is time for a businessman with a plan to run our country, not some great civic leader, like an Obama, who makes promises and rallies the people. Cain knows how to turn a failing business (Godfather's Pizza) around by cutting the waste, and move it back into a successful business.

Out of all the GOP candidates, Cain has a plan that he calls his 999 Plan. Its practical, its common sense and its a solid business plan for getting America back on track. 

Another reason I like Cain, he isn't a "good ol' boy" that has been in an congressional office since 1982. Take a look at the man's successful business career. I personally thinks he is the best candidate for the job.
