There has got to be a better platform than this.
((((((((((((( RUDY PING )))))))))))))))
I will occasionally ping the ping list, to share the load and help with timely pings of the list.
If you want on or off the Rudy ping list, FReepmail areafiftyone, PhiKapMom or Bunnyslippers
"something Mr. Giuliani denounced when Mr. Forbes was running for president."
Definitely for flip...except when he's standing for flop.
"In a Giuliani presidency, he predicted, well have an assault on the federal tax code."
Will we? I'd like that.
A Fair Tax(National Sales Tax) would be even better, and even illegal immigrants would be forced to pay into a Fair Tax.
Good move, Rudy! Giuliani/Kyl '08!
I like Rudy. And I like Thompson. I think either one would destroy the Democrats. And the terrorists. A ticket with both...now there's a dream ticket.
VALUE ADDED TAX = taxing something so many times the count is lost by the time that item gets to the consumer.. The taxes exceed the price of the item..
Will us less than well endowed women be discriminated against?
Is that what the "flat" tax is all about???
"Giuliani has a conservative worldview. As Steven Malanga noted in City Journal, "Far from being a liberal, he ran New York with a conservative's priorities." Government exists above all to keep people safe in their homes and in the streets, he said, not to redistribute income, run a welfare state, or perform social engineering. The private economy, not government, creates opportunity, he argued; government should just deliver basic services well and then get out of the private sector's way. He denied that cities and their citizens were victims of vast forces outside their control, and he urged New Yorkers to take personal responsibility for their lives."
Giuliani has a record he can run on. Unlike McCain, his main rival for the Republican nomination, or his Democratic counterparts Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, or John Edwards, he is not a product of the U.S. Two years ago, I wrote a column, "NYC crime rate cut with penalties," in which I detailed the success of Rudy Giuliani's robust policing where homicides fell by 67 percent under his leadership. Abortions dropped 16.9 percent during his reign, the foster care population fell 38 percent as over 17,000 children were adopted, 17 charter schools were established, and over 20 percent of taxes where slashed, saving the tax payers over $9.8 billion. These are a few of the tangible results Giuliani accomplished as mayor."
Guys, c'mon. This is pure election-year politics talking here. What are the odds of a flat-tax passing Congress? Rudy has ZERO credibility. I mean, we're talking about a presidential candidate who supports abortion right up until birth. What makes you think he'll be credible on the other issues as well?
Republicans 2008: Giuliani 31%, McCain 22%
March 29, 2007

31 per cent of respondents would vote for the former New York City mayor in a 2008 primary.
Arizona senator John McCain is second with 22 per cent, followed by actor and former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson with 12 per cent, and former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich with eight per cent.
Rudy will say or do anything to be king...........he is toast : )
btt
I wondered what Rudy offered him.
It appears Forbes had a price, and Rudy paid it.
Yeah, right after the assault on the second amendment, the 4th amendment, and the unborn.
Bump!
