Perry stood next to a pallet piled high with paper, representing the current tax code, then held up a postcard, representing his own plan. Perry says anyone who's afraid of paying more under his plan can opt for the old tax system instead.
But as the story says, he says this in a particular context.
Rick Perry doesn't have a catchy marketing slogan for his tax plan. But he's hoping the idea of a flat, 20 percent income tax rate will do for his campaign what "9-9-9" did for Herman Cain's.
In other words, he couldn't care less in principle about a Fair Tax or a Flat Tax or even abolishing the Income Tax. He simply wants to do whatever gets him elected. Do you really believe for a moment that he will actually get this card through Congress? I don't even care if it is a Republican Congress. So Rush Limbaugh can talk all he wants in support of Perry, it will take a Libertarian Tea Party Revolution to get rid of the current tax code.
If you doubt me, please read the above paragraph again. Perry states,
Perry says anyone who's afraid of paying more under his plan can opt for the old tax system instead.
Afraid? Let's see. Over half of Americans don't pay income taxes. So why would anyone opt in in the first place?
And 20 %! Yikes! This is the kind of stuff that led to the Civil War.
It is time for a fundamental change folks. It is time to vote for Ron Paul.
