Santorum talks

PA's junior US Senator, Rick Santorum, has just begun a publicity tour for his new book. He went online live today to answer a variety of questions about his book and his plans. Some intriguing excerpts:

...lots of different types of families can work but what we know works best is a two-parent traditional, what I call natural, families.
. . .
In fact in 1950 the average American family paid 2% in taxes. Today that average American family pays 27% in taxes to the federal government. Oddly enough the difference, 25%, is what the average second wage earner makes in America today. So you see, on average, the second wage earner is working simply to pay the increased burden the federal government has put on the family.

Um, doesn't the patheticness of that second wage need addressing too?

I can't speak for other politicians but I can speak for me, and my intention is not to run in 2008.

So much for the conspiracy theorists...

Those wishing to hear more from the Senator can catch him on Comedy Central's Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight as well. An interesing choice for somebody with no Presidential aspirations.
