"...let African Americans keep more of what they worked for."

[Contrary1]

From Perry yesterday on Meet the Press when comparing how great he was in contrast to Trump: "What we've done in the state of Texas, for instance: let African Americans keep more of what they worked for."

Did I hear him correctly? And if I did, can anyone explain what the hell he meant by it?

1. Lower taxes. n/t

2. Lower their taxes.

Cut back government services even further, to lower their taxes.

This is kind of bogus as the programs he would cut are often ones that they rely on - and that further cuts to government services would hurt the economy in general, but that's his theory.

3. Cut taxes

It's the cure for everything.

Either that or increase the return on sharecropping. You never know with Rollicking Rick.

until I found out he is a libertarian who doesnt want to pay much in taxes and hates the idea of the govt using tax dollars to help people or provide education

6. I kind of figured it had to do with taxes...

just thought it odd the way he phrased it. Like maybe it was just African Americans that benefitted. I found it condescending.
