Herman "Koch" Cain or "This dud is going nowhere"
Long ties to Koch brothers key to Cain's campaign

But Cain's economic ideas, support and organization have close ties to two billionaire brothers who bankroll right-leaning causes through their group Americans for Prosperity.

Cain's campaign manager and a number of aides have worked for Americans for Prosperity, or AFP, the advocacy group founded with support from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. Cain credits a businessman who served on an AFP advisory board with helping devise his "9-9-9" plan to rewrite the nation's tax code. And his years of speaking at AFP events have given the businessman and radio host a network of loyal grassroots fans.

Herman Cain’s health care prescription for America is the standard the Republican line: repeal the Affordable Care Act and allow individuals and families to purchase health care coverage on the unregulated individual market. And as the Wall Street Journal’s Janet Adamy notes, it’s the kind of approach Cain spearheaded as CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, curbing business costs by cutting health care benefits and offering group insurance to a tiny percentage of employees. “Of the chain’s 3,418 workers at corporate-owned operations, 593 were eligible for Godfather’s health-insurance plan, and 409 enrolled, according to figures Mr. Cain provided in 1994.

1. Republicans want to level the playing field.
The individual vs. the corporation. Much easier to screw the individual than a class of people empowered to protect their best interests.
