The race is basicall down to Perry and Romney. Perry represents the conservative and tea party movement, while Romney is more of the moderates.

I think Perry will crush Romney due to him being a moderate that had a health care plan similar to Obama's while he was governor.

Found this on the net, a comparison of Perry vs Romney, other candidates can be 'compared' as well there

Wouldn't this plan help?

No, becouse he's simply playing class warfare and raising taxes. Our tax revinue is fine; its just a matter of cutting all the spending we have to deal with.

If by "simply raising taxes" you mean "raising taxes to account for half and cutting spending to account for the other half"...
EDIT: oh wait, the tax rises are in fact "almost half".

The figures I've seen show that it is impossible to deal with US debt through spending cuts alone. And really your response is a prime example of the issue facing Americans: What rate of taxation is fair for the various levels of income earns. Some now define it as too high, others too low, and some as just fine...

Good luck deciding that one, everyone has a different opinion.

I'm a fan of the Ryan plan, restructuring the entitlements, bumping up the retirment age, and then restructuring the goverment, and removing a lot of the buracracy involved with it. I think some estamates put the savings of restructuring the goverment at 1 trillion dollars.
