What is the first sentence in the article? Explain how that isn’t class warfare. As I said, I don’t like Romney, but class warfare is best left to the D’s.

“Fat cat” was lifted from an earlier comment and tacked on to this article.

***************************

.......”Perry drafted his proposal with help from Steve Forbes, who proposed a flat tax when he ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1996 and 2000 and has endorsed the Texan’s candidacy. At the time, he was criticized by Republican primary rival Pat Buchanan for a proposal Buchanan said seemed to have been drafted at a yacht club, and by Romney for pitching “a tax cut for fat cats.”

Asked about the criticism, Perry told CNBC of Romney: “I consider him to be a fat cat.”

As I said, if Perry is requesting Romney release his income tax returns because he wants to create class warfare, then this is wrong, but the first sentence does not indicate that that is why Perry is asking Romney to release his tax returns.

It is more likely that Perry is asking because the rest of them are doing it. If that is the case, then Perry is correct to ask Romney to do what the rest are doing.

So you want Romney to get the nomination and then Obama can beat him to death over his wealth? That's real smart...NOT!

Better now than later. If a candidate can't take the warmth of a primary they sure can't take the heat of the general!

And the media isn't helping Perry!
