I think Perry often looks as though he’s in pain.

Perry is acting the same way he has in past debates as Governor.

I agree with you, but that’s not the world we live in and what he said, on a racial/cultural stage is just not appropriate. His handlers need to help him move beyond that and call opponents by name, or position.

The problem is, there is a huge underground economy in this country where many do not pay taxes - particularly income tax. There are also many who are scamming on social services and sucking off the teat of the US meanwhile, working under the table for cash. It’s time we get real in this country or we may as well hang it up.
