The only problem I have here is Discount Rick saying he’ll work for half the price. That comes across with the same credibility as fringe candidates who say the same thing.

What are you saying.? That Rick Perry would not take just a $200,000 salary as President? That he would take the full 400 G? That's the dumbest thing I read all week. What Perry said is not something you can worm your way out of. Save your clever cynicism for something else. 

Of course he has to be elected first

It’s penny-ante. It would amount to perhaps a thousandth of one cent on your tax bill.

I’m in an industry where theft is quite common, unfortunately, and one thing I’ve learned is that if an employer tries to save money by paying employees less, the employees will make up for it be doing subtle thefts that are hard to detect, but can be profitable for the employee.

So one question that arise, when Rick is offering to take a wage cut to get the nomination is how he intends to make up for it on the back end.
