What Herman Cain is proposing is a 9% federal income tax on individuals, a 9% federal income tax on business and corporations, and a 9% sales tax. The whole point is that it would be a first step toward a fair ( flat) tax. You can read it all here.
You'll see the plan calls for elimination of the payroll tax which means both your contribution and you're employer's would be returned to you. As well, your employer would now be able to charge less for their services/product because they have less employee overhead. Not only would you have more money in your pocket, you may also find you're paying less for what you buy. Finally, what you're currently paying in taxes will go down.
Go there. read it. Think it over.

Isn’t part of the Payroll tax used to pay for Seniors on SS?
