Rick Perry bragged about how his new tax plan would reduce the size of a tax form to that of a post card. Big deal! They can already fit the tax forms on a post card! All they’d have to do is print it in 1-point type, and they’d fit on a post card right now! Then you could use a microscope to do your taxes. In fact, based upon the dishonesty and gimmickry of most political candidates’ plans, Perry’s whole plan to fit the tax forms on a post card is probably based on the reduction of type size. And if that’s not the plan now, when his actual plan fails to pass, or doesn’t work, he’ll probably fall back on the reduced type size just to “keep his promise”.
But on another note, today heard Perry’s new tax plan referred to as “the 20-20-0 plan”. No, it should be called “the 20/20 plan”. Then the Perry campaign could use the line: “Rick Perry: The Man with a 20/20 Vision of America.” Or they could say it’s: “Rick Perry’s 20/20 Focus on the Future of America.” Then Perry could say to everyone who hates his new tax plan (which is pretty much everybody): “Without my 20/20 vision, you can’t see the future clearly.” See? Just pack on the clichés and he can’t lose! (Unless he has to debate anyone again…)
Here’s the tax plan pan story:
