Rudy has been proposing cutting the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% for some time.
McCain and Romney just recently started saying the same thing.
The NYT doesn't like such proposals. They know that Rudy is the one of the 3 who is much more likely to originate and execute such ideas. My suspicion is that this is why the NYT is after Rudy.
and in the unlikely event Rudy becomes the nominee, he will have provided the NYTimes and the rest of the MSM with sufficient ammo to take him out. his appalling personal life and shady business dealings.
