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.
That’s why you never hear from a Santorum supporter about Saint Rick’s excellent, visionary platform. It always starts off with “Newt is a SOB!”, or something along those lines.
The 0 percent for manufacturers is most likely Rick’s way of paying back his union buddies, who will just support the libs anyway. It’s also playing favorites. It’s funny that I heard him call this a “flat tax”, even though it’s 17 percent and 0 percent, two different tax rates. I don’t understand why he doesn’t call for eradicating the Capital Gains Tax. Makes no sense to me at all.
I prefer a fair tax myself. I actually really like Cain’s 999, and he promises to continue campaigning on it. After this nomination fight is over and we have Newt, I’m jumping back on the Cain train and will do all I can to promote it (which isn’t much). Nevertheless, Newt offers a flat tax at 15 percent, and corporate flat tax at 12.5 percent. No favoritism here. It’s a good step in the right direction towards a truly equitable tax system. Each person paying the SAME amount, no favorites, no picking winners and losers, no using government to discourage certain business or encourage others at the expense of still many more.
It’s my dream to one day see the progressive tax system we have now utterly destroyed and incapable of resurrection. Destroying it would do this country a lot of good.
Just make it simple like Newt’s ( ya stupid’s ), but Romney and Santorum are both LAWYERS!
No more damn lawyers!
