republican rick perry rolled out his plan for an across-the-board tax rate of 20%. as heavy machinery hummed in the background, the texas governor unveiled his flat tax proposal at a south carolina plastics plant. >> the best representation of my plan is... is this post card. this is the size of what we are talking about right here. tax payers will be able to fill this out and file taxes on that. ( applause ) >> woodruff: the perry plan breaks down this way: the 20% flat tax would be optional. americans at any income level could choose between that or their current tax rate. the first $12,500 of income per individual would be exempt. and the plan, which had no price tag attached, would maintain deductions for mortgage interest and charitable contributions for households making less than $500,000 a year. >> taxes will be cut across all income groups in america, and the net benefit will be more money in american's pockets with greater investment in the private economy instead of the federal government. >> woodruff: perry also touted a broader economic overhaul, includ
