Giuliani on Flat Tax: Just Kidding
Rudy Giuliani, fresh off winning the endorsement of Steve Forbes, now says he was just kidding when he said he thought the flat tax was a good idea.
“I didn’t favor it, I said something academic,” Giuliani said at a press conference in Florida on Saturday, in response to a reporter asking him why he had switched from opposing a flat tax to favoring it. “What I said was, and it was not a joke, but it was half-jocular, was if we didn’t have an income tax...what would I favor?
“First I would favor no tax,” he said laughing and turning to his wife Judith, who duly smiled back. “That would be my first position. My second position would probably be a flat tax.”
But, he said, the tax “would probably not be feasible.”
Someone should tell Forbes.

Steve is very likable, but he’s such a pollyanna about others.
“While I disagree with him in certain areas—I am pro-life, and he is pro-choice—he has made it abundantly clear that he would appoint John Roberts/Samuel Alito-type judges to the federal bench.”
Bull crap!!! There is no way in Haddes that I would take an abortion supporter at their word!
I am seriously disappointed in Steve Forbes. I want tax cuts and deregulation, too, but not at the expense of innocent babies! Shame on him!!

Hahahahahaha...
Three words. Darth. Vader. Ginsburg.
Giuliani: "[W]hat's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And [John Roberts] fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category."
While I disagree with him in certain areas--I am pro-life, and he is pro-choice--he has made it abundantly clear that he would appoint John Roberts/Samuel Alito-type judges to the federal bench.
Steve Forbes uses lots of words to explain his position, but when you cut through the bull, Steve Forbes is NOT pro-life. He is for a few more restrictions on abortion, but in the end as long as it's not for sex selection he is for giving a woman choice in the 1st and 2nd trimester. That is NOT a pro-life viewpoint. Steve Forbes is pro-choice.
Here are his own words. Like I said, cut through the bull and you can see he is pro-choice with a few more restrictions.
I want to help make abortions disappear, where it’s just something that people don’t do unless it’s a real emergency. In a democracy, that can only happen if there’s a change of heart, a change of conscience. To move the issue forward, I would oppose abortions in late pregnancy, barring emergency. I’d oppose abortions for purposes of sex selection. I’d oppose mandatory government funding. I’d support parental notification. Beyond that, we have to persuade. We’ve got to do it one on one.
