There is a lot of talk about change in this year's presidential race. But if Washington is truly broken, as many Americans think it is, then it doesn't merely need to be changed. It needs to be fixed. And the man who fixed up New York is ready to fix up Washington.
Rudy Giuliani has proposed the largest tax cut in modern American history and a dramatic simplification of the tax code. His proposal has received broad support from fiscal conservatives in Washington; yesterday it was introduced as legislation by Reps. David Dreier and Roy Blunt, and by Sen. Christopher Bond. Since Fred Thompson has dropped out of the race, there's no question which candidate offers the best tax plan, or is the best spokesman for advancing the tax-reform cause.
The FAST form is the centerpiece of Mr. Giuliani's tax plan, but it contains many other advantageous features. He will make the Bush tax cuts permanent. He will cut the corporate tax rate, currently second-highest in the industrialized world, to 25% from 35%, helping American businesses compete while protecting and creating American jobs. He will reinstate the Research and Development Tax Credit, a spur to American innovation that Democrats recently let expire. He will repeal the death tax, which unfairly forces relatives of the recently deceased to sell small family farms or businesses to pay the tax collector. He will cut the capital gains tax to 10% from 15%, sparking private-sector investment and economic prosperity. And he will index the Alternative Minimum Tax for inflation and put in on the course to eventual elimination.

And you are a woman?
Since when is giving illegals welfare fiscally conservative???
Stay in the gutter... I won't climb down there with you.
Am I supposed to be surprised that a swishy degenerate elitist like Steve Forbes has the hots for Rudy?
Now that's a keeper! ;-)
13. I will get all dressed up in men's clothing for all public presidential events.
Every now and then you’ve gotta get down there with the opposition. The difference in them and us is that they live there, we’re just down there long enough to handle them, then it’s back to the sidewalk for us!
Speak for yourself. I declare no affiliation with liberals, no matter what letter they choose to put next to their name.
a vote for him would be both to PREvent Hillary from winning and a vote for a perVERT.
Rudy couldn't beat Hillary in NY--he has little chance of beating her nationwide. There is a reason Rudy has plunged in the polls -- people got to know him!
The difference in them and us is that they live there, were just down there long enough to handle them, then its back to the sidewalk for us!
Have you ever heard of a guy named Schwarzenegger? He's drug us all in the gutter in the name of "republicanism." Vote for a liberal--you get a LIBERAL. I want no part of it.
And that is certainly your right. I have no qualms with those who think differently from me, especially when they express those differences in a polite way and are so specific about the differences.
I have a few days left to decide.
