I'll have to disagree with the previous religious conservatives not liking it, I think many other stripes of conservatives have reservations as well.
While not an income tax his last tax plan was a backdoor income tax that was to reduce property taxes (a huge problem in Texas) but with no safeguards that property taxes would stay down (other than window dressing).
He was previously a conservative democrat, which isn't always a bad thing (see Phil Gramm), but his fiscal policies seem stuck in the democrat mode.
Plus he often comes off as what my wife calls a mimbo, that is a male bimbo.
you don't think a 3% appraisal cap -- perry'
s proposal -- is a good safeguard against rising property taxes?!?!
plus, i have a hard time understanding why closing loopholes that allow some corporations to evade the state's business tax in a "backdoor" income tax.
