This type of thinking is Rick’s problem — he thinks government social engineering is great ... as long as he’s the one doing the dictating of what is “good” and “bad” behavior.

What Rick is offering in many cases is the kind of stuff that destroys and corrupts our political system. He is offering tailored payouts to favored constituencies, in essence buying votes. He tries to couch this stuff in flowery terms about how things like "manufacturing" and "families" are what America's all about or will "make America great" again. But that's just spin. He's buying votes the same way that Obama bought votes. It's truly disheartening to see politics reduced to seeing which candidate in either party can use taxpayer money to bribe the right groups of people to win an election. We desperately need fair, equitable government policy like Newt is proposing which truly gives us all an equal chance to pursue happiness on a level playing field. Rick is the worst offender in the whole Republican field at playing the Democrat game of dividing the population up and trying to build vote-buying into the tax code.

I hope people come to their senses and drop Rick prior to Super Tuesday. Newt needs to make a big comeback. Newt must successfully paint both Rick (because of this lame tax favoritism) and Romney (because of Romneycare) as government busybodies and no different than any other nanny-stater.
