He’s solid down the line on all. On taxes, he’s raised some taxes but lowered others. They have the lowest property taxes in the country - cappped at 1%. He once entertained the idea of a VAT (worrying), but he wants to make taxes flatter for all. I don’t think (hope) he would give the keys to the VAT car for future democrat majorities without some constitutional safety mechanisms.

He has a very solid pro-life record, despite his truce comments (which will be like candy to independent voters, by the way). He has said he will reinstate the Mexico city policy. He is anti-cap and trade, saying he’s an “agnostic” on climate change, I think were his words.

I remember the response he gave on the VAT, I'm a little leery on trusting him, but if I recall correctly, he denied saying he actually endorsed a VAT, and was supportive of a flat tax, and that what he did was explain what a VAT was, and he claimed that it was twisted on him, but I don't know how true his claims were.
