“The tax swap created a net tax decrease, but the new business tax coupled with one added to tobacco still counts as the largest tax increase in Texas.”

(From your “perry tax increaser” article) ... Can you explain for me that sentence? How can procedure that creates a “net tax decrease” be “the largest tax increase”? All that makes sense to me is that the editorial board of that newspaper has done everything possible to defeat Perry.
Because Perry later added those additional taxes after the initial tax swap.
