Issue Position: Fighting for the American Worker

Issue Position

Rick Santorum believes that we need a pro-growth economic agenda, but we must also have a pro-worker economic agenda. Right now, hard-working American families are struggling because no one is fighting for them, and Rick Santorum plans to change that.

The Santorum economic agenda starts by creating a fairer and flatter tax code that will treat everyone equally under tax law. This means that the IRS role in our lives will be nearly eliminated.

Just as importantly, the Santorum economic plan will help American businesses - particularly American manufacturers - grow and thrive. Rick grew up in the steel valley of Pittsburgh and knows first-hand the positive impact manufacturing and processing jobs can have on our economy and in our families. These jobs didn't just build strong families and strong communities, they literally built America. Rick believes it's time to revitalize manufacturing, processing, construction, and energy sectors of our economy again so America can once again thrive.
