Perry statement on the president's tax increase plan

Rick Perry doesn't like the president's plan for a tax increase either.

Here is what the Texas Governor says:

President Obama's plan is a bait and switch that offers more than a trillion dollars in higher taxes for a promise of temporary tax relief. The president penalizes investment when it is needed most, discourages charitable giving and doubles down on a failed government stimulus strategy.

Worst of all, the Obama plan fails to provide the certainty employers need to create jobs and the spending and deficit reduction our economy needs.
