The thing about Perry's plan is that it's not a flat tax. You get to choose between 20% and your current rate. Gee, who do you think is going to choose 20%?? Maybe those paying a higher percentage....don't know where I got that idea.
So, it really is a huge tax cut for higher earners with no pain for anybody else. But he calls it a "flat tax" because "huge cut for the rich" doesn't have the same cachet with the TP. Perry is essentially proposing bigger deficits. Great.
Perry vs. Obama has now swung in my book from undecided to hold your nose and vote for Obama.
