Interesting. I respect that Santorum does not pander and I like his appeal to blue collar voters, but I don't like his "pick and choose" tax plan. Let's return to a more honest government where every citizen and every business is treated equally under general laws; no bias no favoritism, no prejudice. Issuing tax credits, where one doesn't even have to pay taxes and having a different tax rate for manufacturers is not right.

The piece is ok. Let's not get excited when RINO Central decides to send out an edict. They were calling Tea Partiers "hobbits" a while back. Matter of fact, f*ck the WSJ.

He is VERY correct on the demographic and Islamofascism front.

RJ: we need kids, desperately. People with kids are paying for the singletons' retirements: they deserve the tax breaks.

So you favor the government using the tax code to engage in social engineering. That doesn't seem very conservative to me. Nonetheless, most people do want the government to favor one group over another, which is why the principle of equality under the law was discarded, during the New Deal, after being under attack for many years since the Progressive era.

If the prospect of having government promote wise behavior is "social engineering" I'm all for it. After all, our government has been promoting unwise behavior for decades, and how has that worked out?

Giving tax breaks to ease the burdens of child-rearing can hardly be condemned outright as bad policy.

I understand that the views that you and Occam's Tool reflect the majority view among the voters. They are however an illustration as to why we won't see a return to limited government. Everyone believes there is a good reason why they should be given special treatment which leads to "game on" in the pursuit of government favoritism - a game in which the politically-powerful will win every time. When voters play the government shell game to get something from government, they help to legitimize actions such as the bailouts and subsidies for Wall Street, big banks and General Motors. I would rather have equality under the law.
