Marco Rubio Supports the "Ten For '10: Winning Washington By Empowering Americans Petition" & So Can You
This is an audio interview by Laura Ingraham with Marco Rubio, candidate in the GOP FL primary for U.S. Senate against RINO Charlie Crist.
Listen to Marco's interview with Laura, see why he supports the "Ten for '10" petition and thinks these ideas are important for our economic and national security.
You can support "Ten For '10", too, by signing the petition. The link is here.
TEN FOR '10: WINNING WASHINGTON BY EMPOWERING AMERICANS
Idea 1: Taxpayers' Bill of Rights (TABOR). I support limiting federal spending growth to the percentage in population growth plus the rate of inflation. I will also work to provide taxpayers the option of filing a post card-sized tax return using a low, flat tax rate of 15 percent.
Idea 2: End taxpayer-funded abortions. I support stopping federal payments to Planned Parenthood as well as prohibiting any taxpayer-subsidized health insurance plan from covering abortion.
Idea 3: Defend America's borders. I support the implementation of America's border protection initiatives, using remaining funds from the so-called stimulus bill.
Idea 4: King Dollar. I will support policies that preserve a strong dollar, protecting Americans from having their savings wiped out by inflation and maintaining the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency.
Idea 5: Empower American business. America's corporate tax rate is currently among the highest in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In order to ensure America remains a place where businesses want to invest and create jobs, I support slashing corporate tax rates to 15 percent and scrapping the capital gains tax altogether.
Idea 6: Defend America. I will work to strengthen America, defend our homeland and fully fund an operational, layered missile-defense system.
Idea 7: Statism exit plan. I support the de-funding of government czars, immediately ceasing bailout payments to failed companies and banning future bailouts.
Idea 8: End generational theft. I am running for U.S. Senate to ensure America continues the now-threatened tradition of passing down a stronger, more prosperous America to future generations of Americans. As few believe America's entitlement programs will be able to pay benefits to future generations, I support providing younger workers the choice of diverting Social Security payroll taxes into personal retirement accounts. Seniors and near-retirees would not be affected.
Idea 9: Restore America's system of justice. I support penalties for frivolous lawsuits, whereby those who launch unsuccessful lawsuits are liable for the defendants' legal bills.
Idea 10: American energy independence. I support an all-of-the-above energy strategy that embraces alternatives, expands and accelerates exploration and production of oil and natural gas, and jumpstarts dramatic increases in nuclear power.

I love these ten for 10 principles. This is what conservatism is all about. I like Rubio. I wish that I could vote for him. I will have to inform my relatives about him and lean on them to vote for him. Will sign petition right now.
ReplyDeleteTeresa:
ReplyDeleteMarco Rubio is definitely the conservative choice for U.S. Senator, especially compared to RINO Crist. I will have the opportunity to vote for him and will do as much as I can to promote his candidacy.
These are ten good principals. I would only humbly suggest that we add #11, which would consist of making education a local matter, as it should be.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a PLAN. I hope we get good people into office that support these principles AFTER they go to Washington, as well as before.
ReplyDeleteMatt:
ReplyDeleteI don't know why education wasn't mentioned. I guess "Ten For '10" made a better title than "Eleven for '10".
Opie:
ReplyDeleteWe can only "hope". From what I can see, Marco Rubio is one of the good guys. I also think the grassroots movement is going to motivate good people to run for office.
Of course, many of the people on Capitol Hill started out as "good guys" and were corrupted later. So only time will tell.
