Santorum, the life long lawyer and politician (doggone, don’t hear that fact mentioned much, do you) - shows his total economic ignorance with this pander to the unions and the manufacturers with his flawed tax plan.
Now frankly, it will never happen, even if he is elected. But it does demonstrate both his lack of understanding of economics and his propensity to pander to unions and to use big government tinkering.
But wait? Unions? Big Government? But but but rikkie is the true conservative in the race, right? /s
