I applaud Santorum’s “Made in America” idea of 0% taxes for manufacturers. We must rebuild our manufacturing base.

“I applaud Santorum’s “Made in America” idea of 0% taxes for manufacturers. We must rebuild our manufacturing base.”

One can also do this by initiating a flat or a fair tax that treats all businesses and all persons equally under the law, rather than picking winners and losers. The race will also be on to somehow qualify your business, whatever it is, as a “manufacturer”. It’s just more goofing around with the system, playing favorites and benefiting unions.

The Capital gains tax should go, and also Union control must also be diminished. People should not be forced to pay Union dues.

Yeah, and then every business will niggle their way around the rules to classify themselves as a “manufacturer.” Why should “manufacturers” get special exemptions over other kinds of business? Why not just drop tax rates across the board for all?

Newt has by far the most compelling tax reform plan: http://www.atr.org/obama-vs-gop-candidates-tax-plan-a6741

Apollo5600, you make good posts.
