Perry and Capitalism Sitting in a Tree

One of Rick Perry's main selling points in his dying bid for president, is his state's hugely successful economic record. Texas has somehow managed to stay above the fray in the past years, as it continues to show good employment records, and overall growth in profit. Why does it all work? Well according to Perry, it's all about how much he loves the capitalist system.

He, according to himself, as been a good governor, because of his strict loyalty to capitalism theories in his state's policies. The people who haven't been loyal to capitalism (Wall Street and Washington,) deserve the hard times that have befallen them.
The idea of sticking to ol' capitalism as been a huge hit with all candidates. They show themselves as keeping to the systems that have profited the U.S.A. in the days of yore. The opposite of their gleaning beacon of hope is the classic American foe, the socialist menace. Obama's health care plan and the general democratic penchant for social programs make him a concern for a lot of conservative voters.
However, given Perry's need to defeat Romney in the upcoming primary, such endorsements for capitalism are unnecessary. Every candidate in the race might not have Perry's record as a governor, but they do say similar things about their trust in free market strategies. Rick Perry's remarks on the subject are redundant, and he should be using every opportunity to make himself distinct from his opponents. Making vague comments aren't particularly helpful against the specific economic ideas of Gingrich and Romney. When Perry goes around make town hall speeches like this one, he really should be using his time more wisely. He's going to need to make every second count.
