Perry previews plans to "uproot" federal government

The Viking wrote: NONE of the other candidates have come up with big change ideas like Perry has. The 20% flat tax, allowing the old plan to stay in place so people get use to it and so it can actually pass unllike other plans that raise taxes on at least 50% of Americans that has no chance of passing. The start at $0 for foreign aid to all nations and have them make their case for OUR tax dollars and countries like Pakistan won't get any if they keep supporting the terrorists. Now this plan which part of it will be to fight against lifetime appointments for out of control justices. That is destroying this country. They need to be re-elected in so they can't keep passing thier radical agendas.

All the other candidates sound just like the same ones that have run for decades. Nothing really new. Not sure why Americans are afraid of some real change in this country.

Jon Huntsman's plan to create jobs in America
on September 3rd, 2011

...since he announced his plan last Tuesday, it is being applauded by almost all GOP circles, including Tea Party , Wall Street Journal , conservative think tanks and Republican intelligentsia which until now didn’t have their horse in the race, but that may change as Huntsman now emerges as the new conservative force, although he was previously being accused of being too moderate.

Governor Huntsman’s proposals are modeled after Ronald Reagan’s 1986 tax reform package, which economist Dale Jorgenson calculated as yielding over one trillion dollars in efficiency gains.

In Utah, he signed the largest tax cut in state history, returning $400 million to families and businesses and earning him the “Taxpayer Advocate” award from the Utah Taxpayers Association.

The Cato Institute called Huntsman’s tax reform plan in Utah “very Reaganesque” and gave him an “A” in tax policy. Along with historic tax cuts, Huntsman also balanced every budget and tripled the state’s rainy day fund, leading the Pew Center to name Utah the best-managed state in America.

Jon Huntsman, the No-Drama Conservative
The former Utah governor speaks like a diplomat, but he’s no moderate.
By Michael Brendan Dougherty | August 24, 2011

His approval ratings got as high as 90 percent at several points during his years as governor. Initial reservations about him melted, and his legislation began passing with massive majorities. His gigantic tax-reform package sailed through both houses of the legislature unanimously.

“I have an easy rule of thumb,” says Hughes summing up his feelings on Huntsman. “If someone walks into the room and you cut $400 million in taxes and do school reform with him, you vote for him for president.” He turns fiercely protective of Huntsman’s credentials whenever a conservative outside Utah uses the word “moderate” to describe him.
