making the Bush tax cuts that he voted for as a Senator permanent, eliminating the estate tax, and lowering tax rates on capital gains and dividends to encourage investment.
Santorum calls for cutting corporate tax rates fro 35% to 17.5% (and to 0% for manufacturing firms),
Santorum's alternative to the health care bill passed by Congress is largely similar to the other Republicans running for the nomination, as he proposes to increase access to health care by encouraging the use of Health care Savings Accounts and reducing the costs of privately provided health plans through increased competition.
Santorum stated that he believed "there is no such thing as global warming." He proposed to "drill, drill everywhere" as a solution to high energy prices, and has called for repealing the federal ban on drilling in sensitive areas such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Santorum has also called for curbing the powers of the EPA to enforce federal regulations around pollution and air quality, calling them "job killing radical regulatory approaches," though he has not described specific regulations that he thinks should be cut.
While serving as a Senator, Santorum was largely supportive of President Bush's management of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and voted for the decision to invade Iraq in 2002.
Santorum opposes abortion in all cases, including rape and incest, and has also criticized the right to the Supreme Court's decision in the 1965 case Griwswold vs. Connecticut that guaranteed a right to reproductive privacy (which paved the way for the wide availability of birth control).
in January 2012, if elected president, he would attempt to roll back gay marriages that had already occured,
Santorum has called for completing the border fence began under President Bush and has opposed state efforts to provide education for the children of illegal immigrants. Santorum did initially support the amnesty bill drafted by Senator John McCain in 2006 which would have provided a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who had been living in the U.S. for many years without any criminal history, but reversed that support when the bill came to a final floor vote.
