Actually, you are the one voicing support for government control of business through taxation.
Instead of Santorum’s idea of taxing his pet industries at lower rates... why not just tax *ALL* industries at lower rates?
That would be much more effective than Santorum and his ‘government needs to pick economic winners and losers’ meme. Come to think of it, that is Obama’s meme, too.
(Yet another piece showing that there is not much difference between the two, except how much one of them professes to love G-d.)
Newt wants to reinvigorate the ENTIRE economy, including manufacturing. For example Newt’s pro-growth plan includes getting the government out of the way by cutting the regulations, gut the EPA, neuter the Fed, reduce the corp tax rate from 35% to 12.5%, allow 100% first year expensing of new equipment, eliminate the capital gains tax (repatriating billions), eliminate the death tax, implement an optional 15% personal flat tax after deductions, repeal Sarbanes-Oxley, repeal Dodd-Frank repeal ObamaCare, break up freddie/fannie, and drill, baby, drill.
Go, Newt, GO!!
