I had a chance to chat with Rudy Giuliani this weekend, on Saturday morning, just after he finished with his “tax summit” campaign event in Manchester, N.H. There, Giuliani offered his case for making the Bush cuts permanent, killing the estate tax (or “death tax,” as he puts it), indexing the alternative minimum tax to inflation, and lowering corporate taxes. The easy-reading, truncated version of the interview can be found here. But lucky CapCom readers get to peruse the longer “director’s cut.” No Iraq, no abortion, no immigration—just hardcore economic policy. Giuliani speaks at length about taxes, Social Security, and the mortgage crisis.

Guiliani continues to intrigue me from an economic, fiscal-policy perspective. This interview shows some of the reasons.

If you’re interested in Guiliani’s economic record as Mayor of New York City, the Club for Growth has a breakdown.
