Details on how Texas has become the lead job
creating state with 40 percent of net new jobs created in the U.S., with Gov.
Rick Perry (R-TX), who says lowered taxes, a less stringent regulatory
environment, and a hands-off government will get businesses to your state. He
continues to say that The Fed is getting involved in things it should not be
in, such as printing money. Perry also adds that if he is elected, he would not
re-appoint Ben Bernanke as Fed chairman.

Perry indeed has become the favorite target for his competitors in the crowded GOP field. With an absence of other candidates who have electrified the party base, Perry's delayed entry sent ripples through the race and he immediately vaulted to the top.
Yet
his views remain largely in line with the Republican platform, particularly in
espousing smaller government and getting Washington out of the way to private
industry—small business in particular—can get back to creating jobs again.
"Having a job and the dignity to
take care of your family is at the core what I think is hurting America
today," he said, criticizing "over-taxation, over-regulation. Someone
has to be out there to have the resources to be able to hire a worker. That's
what needs to happen in this country."
Perry also took on Warren Buffett.
Asked for his thoughts on the so-called "Buffett Tax"
proposed for millionaires, Perry said the billionaire
chairman of Berkshire Hathaway [BRK.B 73.17

of touch with what the economy needs to thrive.

"Mr. Buffett is a real intelligent
individual, but I can promise you he doesn't know what's going on in places
where the job creation is at zero because of over-taxation and
over-regulation," Perry said.
