Herman Cain compares Social Security to slavery.

In a weekly commentary for his company “T*H*E New Voice, Inc.” Cain writes that “the system by its very nature discriminates against black men and women” and Democratic black leaders want to see “the next generation of blacks remain in economic slavery on the Democratic plantation.”

Cain’s over the top rhetoric suggests that he shares Rick Perry’s belief that Social Security is unconstitutional, but his claims are also wildly inaccurate.
