Senator Jim DeMint introduced Marco Rubio who said, “2010 is a referendum on the very identity of our nation and issues are so big… that many of the old rules of political engagement don’t apply.” CPAC started off with an articulated speech by the Florida Senator Candidate who pushed for jobs created by the private sector rather than politicians. He exclaimed, “let’s reform the tax code and reduce the tax rates across the board… lower the corporate tax rate…” Rubio went on to mention the hopeful death of the punishing death tax, a tax that shackles Americans with a 45% penalty on nest eggs.
