Justiceseeker93 commented to me about this article, pointing out errors. Since I admire Steve Forbes and know his background, I doubt there are any misstatements in the video.
Steven Forbes is associated with Forbes Magazine, and is a great Conservative. A proponent of the flat tax, he even ran for the Republican candidacy to be President (nice man, no charisma!). I'm sure at this point he is backing Newt Gingrich; I know he would never support someone like Mitt Romney.
“Steven Forbes is associated with Forbes Magazine, and is a great Conservative. A proponent of the flat tax, he even ran for the Republican candidacy to be President (nice man, no charisma!).”
At the time I dismissed him out of hand for coming across as a nerd. Such a shallow mistake on my part. He has proven to be a rock of conservatism AND liberty over the years. Quiet, but firm and unyielding. A good man, who promotes freedom and prosperity rather than himself.
Romney actively opposed Forbes’ tax plan:

In 1996, Mitt Romney was so passionately opposed to the flat tax that he took out an ad in the Boston Globe to criticize Steve Forbes’ flat tax proposal. “The Forbes tax isn’t a flat tax at all — it’s a tax cut for fat cats!” Romney, labeling himself a “concerned citizen,” wrote.
