Piñata Perry

Well, since everybody else is taking a whack at him, so does the original Belles of Heaven Republican Women’s Club founder Phyllis Schlafly.

The article is about Perry’s tax proposal, but Schlafly entitles  her column, “Rick Perry’s Marriage Problems.”

Sample?

Does Rick Perry want to undermine traditional marriage? This question leaps out from his new 20 percent flat tax plan, which would eliminate all tax advantages for married couples in which one spouse is the primary breadwinner.

For more than 60 years, the federal income tax has treated the family as an economic unit. A husband and wife have the benefit of pooling their income in a joint tax return which affords larger deductions and lower rates.

Perry would replace the pooling of husband-wife income with a system in which each individual, regardless of marital status, would owe federal taxes on his or her separate income.

Way to go, Phyllis!  Work in “traditional marriage”  and Rick Perry and taxes, and you just kneecapped the guy.

I imagine Laura is swooning.

Hey Rick, and this is how your friends treat you.  Wait until November, Big Guy.

Be social and share!
