Rush may not have been actually “pimping” Governor Perry’s plan today, but he was really positive about it.
And he took some time to play some clips from an interview with Governor Perry about it.
It’d be hard to listen to those clips and not come away with the idea that Governor Perry is stoutly conservative.
One of my favorite responses of his was when the interviewer questioned him about the possibility of “wealthy” people may come away better off under his plan.
Governor Perry’s response was [something like], “I don’t care about that. I care that the money that creates jobs comes back into our economy”.
Well...call me a damned capitalist, but that’s what I want too! I don’t care if wealthy people pay more; I care that our job market/economy gets better.
One of the things it seems like a lot of people miss is that the driver of our economy is largely the spending of the regular consumer. If they don’t have jobs or are uncomfortable about the future, they don’t spend.
If things are rocking along, they spend. Then the economy rocks.
Governor Perry understands that. It’s the jobs first. Then the economy will be alright.
Thanks for the post.
This tax plan is reasonable, though frankly, I believe he was driven here by Herman Cain's 9-9-9. I'd still like to see something strong about the illegals running amok before I can come around.

Dear damned capitalist,
And what Perry cares about is what is going to get America going full steam ahead for everybody!
