Rick Perry's Tax Plan is Great

I agree Perry’s plan is great. So is Cain’s. So is Newt’s. Like Rush said, all of these plans and all of these people are sooooo much better than what we have now.

[upchuck]

I guess Cain’s 9-9-9 plan just became chopped liver?

[Leep]

The best representation-of-my plan is this postcard

Yep, have always liked that idea.

[Leep]

Also, not passing any bill that is larger than the US Constitution.

I just listened to this via the website. Good stuff. I loved the David Rodham Gergan comments, sounded kinda nervous.

[Jim Robinson]

Hey, it’s a great plan. All the limousine liberals can pay the higher rates they’re clamoring for and the rest of us can pay the lower rates. Everybody’s happy.

[Westbrook]

Sorry, no sale.

I committed to voting for Cain when I first learned about him in April of this year. I never heard of him before.

I am still committed to voting for him for the following reasons.

1. He knows what it’s like to have a REAL job. I keep hearing about “political experience”. I DO NO WANT someone who’s resume consists only of government jobs.

2. He knows what it’s like to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and become successful.

3. He is a REAL American, a descendent of African slaves, not a descendent of African slave-traders, like the Community Organizer (euphemism for Communist Activist) currently occupying the White House.

4. I have every confidence that he will surround himself with a brilliant braintrust that will put this country on the right footing and maybe even turn us back from the pit of sexual deviancy, depravity and depredation into which we have been sliding.

5. He is FERVENTLY pro-Life.

6. He is FERVENTLY pro-Israel.

7. He is FERVENTLY pro-American.

I’m not worried about his tax plan right now. It’s little more than a probe, a feeler, at this point. I’m certain that he will do what is right for the people in this country.

“...I guess Cain’s 9-9-9 plan just became chopped liver?...”
-
Read Rush:
“What we’re talking about here is a return to sanity.
Herman Cain’s plan does it.
Perry’s plan at least gets us talking about it.”

[normy]

It’s going to catch hell from the left because when you look at it, it can easily be painted, because it’s a windfall for the wealthy. This is going to drop the net revenue for the government. How is Perry going to deal that? He's going to hold spending down to 18% of GDP. We haven’t been anywhere close to 18% now for some years. What does that mean? A lot of government services are going to go away DRG

[so_real]

Ditto. Let's be real, the only reason anyone is even considering a flat tax is due to Cain raising the bar clearly and concisely. Why settle for second best when the guy with the vision is in the race. And Perry's plan does nothing to unhide, simplify, or prevent favor trading with the tax code. Worthless hype. I'll accept 9-9-9 or the Fair Tax or the guy that has the nuggets to suggest either one. The wannabe's just waste my time.

[New Jersey Realist]

I just can’t get behind Perry. The guy reminds me of the “Bounty Man” - you know, the paper towel guy. I prefer a real man who endured hardships in his life, overcame them and became successful. That is the American Dream. Did Perry overcome any hardships?

[Riodacat]

This tax plan is pure genius!
Everyone will pay less tax because each person/entity can choose to pay via the new flat tax plan or the old tax code.
So those who are getting screwed by the the current tax code, will opt for the flat tax, - and those who are screwing the tax system with its loopholes, subsidies, give backs, exemptions, etc, will stick with the current code.

Down with Washington federal crooks!!!

If we really wanted to do something about the issue the people would demand that all states pass a balanced budget ammendment, then the people would strip the federal government of ANY means of raising revenue..no taxes nothing..completely existing at the desire of the states...when the states do well..they give monies for specific appropriations with the clause added that no funds allocated can ever be spent for other government programs..
That way we starve the beast and kill it, and let it be reborn into what our founding fathers made..

Sell off DC, parks, entire government buildings, make them apartments or something...no more debt, no more power hungry federal”G”..

[Kaslin]

I have never seen an ad with the “Bounty man”. I think you are confused and think of a different ad.

[normy]

In fact, the president of the Club for Growth, Chris Chocola, called Rick Perry's new plan "massively pro-growth" in a statement today.

"Rick Perry’s plan for tax reform would be massively pro-growth. A Flat Tax like the one proposed by Perry would unleash years of economic growth if it is passed into law. Furthermore, eliminating the tax on dividends and capital gains would immediately add trillions of dollars in new wealth to the economy, benefiting all Americans. Perry clearly understands that revitalizing the economy should start with a complete overhaul of a tax code that has nearly choked economic growth to death. Conservatives looking for a champion to carry the banner of a pro-growth tax reform will surely rally behind this bold proposal."

[Kaslin]

Excellent point, and any of our side is better then that arrogant pos we have now

[normy]

I think you mean the Brawny Man and yeah I can see that. I loved the Brawny Man, he was an All American logger type.

If you are serious you need to skip FR for a bit and go to rickperry.org and read his biography.

[Kaslin]

Sounds good to me too

[New Jersey Realist]

Thanks for the correction!
