Santorum should have been our Presidential nominee. Light years better than Romney.
I voted for him. I liked the way he talked street level economics without pretending to be one of us. The guy on the factory floor doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about capital gains taxes but he does spend a lot of time thinking about our insane method of taxing manufactured goods because he’s the one shutting down production every 3 months and counting everything in the building for tax purposes.
He wanted to eliminate those taxes and tax the finished product rather than the product at every manufacturing step. He said he wanted to cut capital gains taxes by I think it was 12% so the Romneyites went nuts and screamed its not enough because Romney promised to cut them by 17%. I think Santorum’s combined cuts would have produced more revenue through job creation and production.
He was my 3rd choice after Bachmann and Cain but I came to feel that he should have been my first choice.
I hear you. I would change it to read "Gingrich should have been our Presidential nominee. Light years better than Romney." :-)
