No, I’ve said she wasn’t the only one who proposed it, as others, including Bachmann and Cain, said so earlier this summer. My point is: why didn’t it get any MSM attention until Palin said it?
Do you consider the Dallas Morning News MSM ? Please note the date. Took about 5 minutes to find that one
also, on Nexis, after 8-15-11 there are more than 2000 MSM hits on the search terms “Rick Perry” atleast5(Perry) within 25 words tax
So... I guess there were MSM mentions about Rick Perry proposals to cut taxes, including corporate income taxes, form August onwards — and before Sarah Palin mentioned she would cut corporate income taxes
Sarah: WELCOME ABOARD! Glad to see you are in favor of cutting corporate taxes — just scant years after RAISING state taxes on an American industry - Alaska’s oil companies.

After harsh words about the Fed, Perry sticks to pro-business theme
SECTION: Pg. 4
LENGTH: 557 words
When the bus ride for Rick Perry hit some bumps on day four of his presidential campaign, the governor veered hard to the right and stayed there.
Perry tried to steer clear of the blowback from his comments about the Federal Reserve, so he was careful with his words and stuck to a pro-business theme. But even that led to controversial turf, as he mused about moving Social Security to the states for experimentation with private accounts and having only pro-business appointees oversee environmental programs.

Perry said that the corporate tax rate should be cut and that he would fight for a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Also, if you need the MSM to validate your beliefs, perhaps CBS News is more to your liking than a media outlet based in Texas, a red state. CBS, of course, is based in the blue blue baby state of New York

Hopefully, CBS will give you the comfort level you prefer

We Freepers need to step up for the acolytes of Gov. Palin — who is on my short list of preferred GOP nominees, along with Perry and Bachman, BTW — and provide the specifics that they are unable to provide.
It takes a lot of energy to bow at altars, to fatten one calf a day, to burn incense, to cast charms and to murmur chants. That’s very time consuming !
So I propose to be one who will help
Here’s the first installment.
To help eliminate crony capitalism, Gov. Palin has made the following proposal (courtesy of Calif Conservative)
1. eliminate the capital gains tax completely
2. eliminate capital loss tax shelters
why?
- If you make a profit, keep all of it
- If you suffer a loss, oh well, too bad, better luck next time.
See? It’s easy? And I’m sure you’ll agree that’s a legitimate proposal.
Gov. Palin, welcome aboard the tax-cutting bandwagon. You may be late to the party, since you raised taxes on the oil industry in Alaska in recent years.
But there’s plenty of room. The rest of us who have been on that bandwagon since President Reagan’s arrival as a GOP presidential nominee in 1980 have saved you a seat !
