Simple - his empowerment (entitlement) zones in his 999 plan are not conservative values.
How about the entire country is considered an "empowerment" zone? With equal incentives across the board and across the country?
If you attract them (investors) equally, they will come.
Hmm guess you did not know Reagan used the same concept. So now you are saying Reagan wasn't Conservative. Maybe the actual problem is you are mindlessly devoted to Perry and cannot be bother to rationally think about any other candidate.
In the United States, the zone concept gained its first supporters among leaders of the Republican Party, which advocated an overall reduction of government influence. In the early 1980s, Ronald Reagan included enterprise zones in the urban policy platform for his presidential campaign, and Senator Jack Kemp introduced the first bill featuring enterprise zones in Congress. The idea gradually expanded its base of supporters to include more liberal members of Congress, such as Democrats Robert Garcia and Charles Rangel of New York, as well as the leaders of prominent minority organizations, such as the National Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
