RE :”A Washington Post/ABC News poll released Wednesday morning found that Americans are divided on tax plans proposed by two of the leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination, businessman Herman Cain and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. The poll found that a majority of Republican voters favor the flat tax but a majority oppose Cain’s plan. The poll found only 36 percent of the total population surveyed favoring Cain’s “9-9-9 plan.” The plan, which has become one of the cornerstones of Cain’s campaign, would establish the federal income tax and the corporate tax rate at 9 percent while adding a national sales tax also set at 9 percent. A majority of those surveyed — 56 percent — have an unfavorable view of Cain’s plan. “

Well of course. Perry's 'round' tax plan is the Santa Claus plan. Merry Christmas. Tax cuts for everyone, don't worry about spending. Compassionate conservatism. Even illegals get out of paying taxes.

How can it be flat when he leaves half of Americans (and illegals) out of paying it at all? Compassionate conservatism.

don't worry about spending

Those are your words, not Rick Perry's. His "Cut, Balance, and Grow" plan includes cutting spending and balancing the budget.

Perry's plan reads:

There exists a simple solution to America’s spending problem: a balanced budget. To get a handle on its federal debt problem, the federal government must first stop spending more than it collects each year. Only then can it begin to reduce the total amount of federal debt and free every American family from the debtor’s prison that was erected by years of overspending and fiscal mismanagement.
