Rubio on Policy, and His Closing

Lower taxes, no double taxation (taxing interest, death, etc.).

Lower corporate tax rates so we are competitive internationally.

Stop cap-and-trade, trust the American innovator, on energy.

Put the consumer in charge of health care spending in America. (How?)

Tort reform. *Thumbs up*

Let’s prove we are serious about holding down spending.

Radical Islamic fundamentalism is America’s biggest threat.

We’ll punish their allies, and support our allies. (Iran and Israel, respectively.)

We’ll destroy their cells, kill their leaders, etc. We’ll capture those who survive.

Bring them to justice in front of a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay.

“If we fail,” the next generation will be hit hard by the failure.

Like those before us, we rose to face the challenges of our times.

No policy specifics, unfortunately. It would have been nice to see in-depth platform ideas.
