It certainly looks that way. Back when he was Speaker of the Florida House, Rubio pioneered “idearaisers” — a format where he solicited the best public policy ideas from citizens of the Sunshine State. The result was a book entitled 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida’s Future<\/em>. All of those 100 ideas were passed by the Florida House, and, by Rubio’s accounting, 57 are now Florida law.<\/p>\n

Now on the hustings as a U.S. Senate candidate, Rubio has now unveiled “23 Simple Ways To Create Jobs, Grow Our Economy And Help The Gulf Coast Recover.”<\/a>\u00a0You can read the full list via the link, but here are a\u00a0couple of the choicer items:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Fundamentally Reform The U.S. Tax Code<\/strong>. The current tax code hinders economic growth. Too many years of special interest lobbying and class warfare politics have cemented it as anti-family, anti-jobs and anti-competitive. The U.S. should have a tax system that is simpler, fairer and promotes economic growth.\u00a0 We should start moving toward being able to pay our taxes with a single rate on paper the size of a postcard.<\/p>\n

Make Claims Checks Tax Exempt<\/strong>. The Gulf Oil Spill Relief Fund is designed to help those whose economic well-being and revenue has been impacted. Similar to legislation after September 11, the federal government should act immediately so that Floridians and the people of the Gulf Coast receive a full gross relief check. BP should cover any tax losses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
