Aren't you talking about Perry tax hike in 1987, when he was an atheistic socialist big-government Democrat:

Rick Perry: The Democrat Years

http://www.texastribune.org/texas-politics/2012-presidential-election/rick-perry-democrat-years/

Excerpt:
Perry’s support of the $5.7 billion tax hike in 1987, signed by Republican Gov. Bill Clements but opposed by most of the GOP members. The bill passed by a relatively close 78-70 in the Texas House. Even without adjusting for inflation, the legislation triggered the largest tax increase ever passed in modern Texas, according to Dale Craymer, president of the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association. Today, taking inflation into account, it would be worth more than $11 billion.

That was 24 years ago and some actually change in 24 years.

Reagan once voted for FDR and didn't become a Republican until 1962.
