Jon Huntsman Bashes Rick Perry's Tax Plan

Former Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah fired away on Tuesday on the tax plan unveiled by Republican presidential primary rival Gov. Rick Perry of Texas earlier in the day.

"Unlike my plan to clean out the tax code entirely, Governor Perry takes the easy way out by leaving in place a broken system, said Huntsman in a statement. Because his plan is optional it will maintain our outdated system of deductions and credits.I have offered a pro-growth plan that will actually reform our tax code for the 21st century by eliminating loopholes, deductions, and corporate welfare entirely."
