Gov Perry Could Sell Hunting Permits for Convicted Murderers, Make $

Gov. Perry has made a SPLASH into the GOP Prexy field. He's always bragging on how many jobs he has created. Of course, most are at or below minimum wage, second only to Mississippi in this stat.
But this happy confluence helps fulfill rich Repubs need for a slave class.
I have an idea on how he could REALLY make some moolah.
Texans love to execute their convicted murderers (don't they have more folks on Death Row than just about anyone else and haven't they set a record pace for killing them?). Texans also LOVE to hunt.
Why not combine the two for a tasty and unusual blood sport? For $10,000, you get your very own murderer to hunt down and kill. The convict doesn't get a weapon and the hunter doesn't get to use dogs.You do get photos with your bounty suitable for framing at no extra charge.
Picture the taxidermist possibilities! Talk about a trophy ... You'd fill Texas' coffers in no time flat.
