I don’t dislike Perry and some of the stuff that people really get wound up about him over doesn’t matter to me. But I get the impression he’s making it up as he goes. First his “flat tax” and now this “half-time gov’t” deal.
Seems to me that if Perry’d had all this platform worked out in good detail and led with it from Day #1 of his campaign, he might have blown the socks off of everyone.
We could do a heck of a lot worse, that’s for sure.
for what it’s worth, I do believe in his latest book , he talked about a flat tax. ( FED UP is the title but I could be having a stuttering brain fart )
so this isnt just thought of the moment for him.
He is not making it up as he goes. The "flat tax" is part of his platform.
So is changing the way the government works.

He didn’t just make up the half time government, that is the way the Texas legislature works. Not sure of the exact details but it is not new.
