“PERRY: Listen, America’s gone a long way from the standpoint of civil rights and thank God we have. I mean we’ve gone from a country that made great strides in issues of civil rights.”

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest Perry probably has no focking clue about the sit-ins or the struggle for Civil Rights in this country. Hence his rather quick and nonsensicle flip to talking about taxes (which are already obscenely low) and de-regulation.
