Herman Cain ridicules Wall Street protestors
Thursday, October 6, 2011 

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain says the Occupy Wall Street protestors should go to school and get a job rather than blasting bankers and brokers “because they’re the ones who create the jobs,” reports the Associated Press. 

Cain spoke to the news service Wednesday while at a St. Petersburg, Fla., bookstore to sign his new memoir. The typically outspoken former chief executive officer of Godfather’s Pizza said the protesters are anti-American and against capitalism, reported AP. 

The protests have spread from Wall Street to the rest of the country, with roughly 50 people protesting in downtown Dayton on Wednesday. Another protest is planned for Dayton’s Courthouse Square on Saturday, Oct. 8. 

The Dayton protesters chanted slogans, handed out flyers and held up signs in a peaceful rally. 

Vernellia Randall of Dayton held a sign that said, “eliminate racism” and called for job creation. She said the government should tax the rich at 50 percent of their income. 

“I’m old enough to remember when we did tax the rich at 50 percent in the 1950s,” Randall said. 

The Wall Street Journal recently ran an editorial column saying Cain deserves a serious look from Republicans, and his popularity is booming as he has soared to the lead as the frontrunner in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination. 

Cain recently came in first in a DBJ online poll asking readers which candidate would be best for the nomination. He had 44 percent of the vote, with Mitt Romney coming in second with 25 percent and Ron Paul third at 8 percent.
