“Tax cuts are good. Just pointing out the next vote is in SC and he promises tax cuts. “
It’s not like he came up with all of it yesterday. He announced a lot of it back in september, has been running on a consistent and genuine pro-growth economic agenda, and today provided a timely reminder of the RIGHT kind of stimulus needed since it is topic A in DC now:

CONCORD – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney proposed cutting federal taxes on investment for the middle class Friday.
Romney’s proposal would reduce taxes on capital gains, interest earned and stock dividends to 0 percent for those earning $200,000 a year or less, which the candidate said would benefit 95 percent of American families.
“You’re creating a dramatic new incentive to save, which is savings will be tax- free. . . . Your interest, dividends and capital gains will be tax-free, which will allow people to establish pretty substantial nest eggs,” Romney told The Associated Press.
“Any tax reduction means more money in our pockets to invest in our country, and tax reductions stimulate our economy in general.’’
Even much earlier than that. In a February 2007 speech in Detroit, he outlined his plan to eliminate taxes on interest and dividends, as well as his call for the Bush tax cuts to become permanent. In a Florida speech in March 2007 he outlined his plan to lower income tax rates for all Americans and to reduce corporate tax rates. He's really not saying anything different in what's now being called his "economic stimulus" package than he's been saying on the campaign trail for over a year.
