"* Released a “20-20” tax plan" ===> too complicated, twice
as much as 9-9-9, leaves the old in place, but still
better than the anything from the Tyrant Zero.
"* Landed some actual hits on Mitt Romney." ==> Maybe,
Perry has not followed up with info from the Romney
Belmont sanctuary in several years, .... yet.
How is the 20% flat tax twice as much as the 999 plan? Mr. Cain's plan taxes 9% of your income and 9% of what you spend. It wouldn't be too difficult to get popped enough on the sale tax side to make the total taxes equal 20% of my income.
