I am NOT surprised.
Unlike Newt Gingrich, Santorum has no real plan.
His was a vanity run for VP and he’s the very lucky recipient of Romney’s vicious lies of smears of Newt Gingich who was otherwise running away with this election on his postive campaign of radical, and solid ideas and solutions which are sorely and desperately needed if we’re going to have ANY HOPE at all of saving and restoring our Republic!
GO NEWT!!!
Yes and yes.
There’s really no argument to be made for Rick that doesn’t include abject denial of the capability and competency Newt is offering.
Exactly. Rick’s tax plan is nothing but a list of vote-buying favors. He wants to make the tax code more complicated rather than less.
I like Newt’s plan better. It is better conceived, although I think it needs at least one tweak: If someone chooses to use deductions and credits to get a rate lower than 15%, what they owe should never fall below 10% of AGI. No more tax freeloading for anybody. I don’t care how many children YOU decided to have or how many electric cars YOU chose to buy or whether YOU get you income from labor or dividends or capital gains. Those were YOUR decisions and don’t deserve special treatment that only ends up forcing someone else to pay your tax burden instead of paying your own way.
“Unlike Newt Gingrich, Santorum has no real plan.”
That’s quite clear, from the article.
Rick is patching “some kind of .. uh..plan” as he trudges along, for the simple reason that he never had planned to really run for president. He’s not and never was a leader, but a follower.
Bump that.
Policies:
Streamline the legal immigration system to avoid unnecessary bureaucratic delays and burdens.
The key to a safer America lies in an approach to border security that includes the following enforcement measures:
Expand the border fence fully where needed and enhance physical border security;
More law enforcement resources and border agents;
The increased use of and access to cutting-edge technology; and
Enforcing immigration and labor laws including through employer verification including an E-Verify system that is simple, reliable, and protects businesses.

NumbersUSA: But in his answers to all the immigration questions this past year, we cannot find any record of Santorum showing support for E-Verify.
Santorum’s Senate record shows lack of support for E-Verify. And he has failed in all debate opportunities to show a changed position. - NumbersUSA
Ultimately, Santorum’s tax plan is what its always been: Higher taxes for small business. that pleases his union owners.
