Perry's strategy is political genius

| March 6, 2013 6:00 AM

I want to laud Gov. Rick Perry on his genius idea of drawing business from the blue states to the red states. But, make it a political strategy, instead of a business strategy. Business is the only thing keeping the blue states from drowning in their own self-manufactured sea of debt and there is no faster way to let the people see the facts than through the prism of their own wallets.

The blue states are walking zombies of self-perpetuating entitlement but even they will eventually collapse under the weight of their own burdens. So, I think we in the red states should help the overall health of the nation by doing everything we can to take business support from the blue states. Take the source of business tax revenue from the blue states … it’s the only thing keeping them afloat.

You can’t get blood out of a turnip … especially if it’s not there.
