Leave it to Rick Santorum to take the Sanity to zero-zero-zero. Forget Herman Cain.
“I’ve got a better plan. It’s the zero-zero-zero plan,” the GOP presidential candidate and former senator told the Value Voters Summit.
Santorum said his plan would levy zero taxes on repatriation of funds invested overseas, cut corporate taxes for manufacturers to zero and eliminate every regulation put in place by President Obama.
For a few seconds, I tried figuring out what the point would be of repatriating untaxed dollars only so you could continue not to tax them. But then I remembered that none of this is supposed to make any sense. How can I fix the deficit? I’ll tell everyone being investigated by the IRS that they can keep their money and whatever dodgy tax-cheat crap they’ve been doing is now legal.
Little Ricky is also going to throw away every single regulation that the Obama administration has put in place. He isn’t going to examine the regulations or anything. He’ll just look at the date they were implemented and if it was after January 19th, 2009, he’s chucking them.
Also, too, no more taxes on corporate profits in the manufacturing sector. You and me will have to make up the difference.
It’s only a matter of time before some Republican candidate promises to eliminate all taxes on everything and to sell off all government property.
