Carly Fiorina: Taxation on the internet would be disastrous

CAMPBELL: So did you. Carly, uou were in favor of Internet taxes.

FIORINA: No, Tom, I've been leading the charge as a technology executive against internet taxes.

CAMPBELL: I've got the Sa Jose Mercury News article where you said the industry can no longer continue free from taxation. Furthermore, it's not internet taxes, it's allowing taxation to be equal between brick and mortar and between internet sales. Treat them equally, that's all I've ever said.

FIORINA: You know, one of the things that was going on, I've been a technology executive. I chaired the technology policy institute, and taxation on the internet would be disastrous. People like Tom Campbell were sitting in congress advocating for taxation on the internet. Even Barbara Boxer was right on this issue. The reality is that the only candidate in this primary who supports internet taxation is Tom Campbell.

Gail Lightfoot: Not up to government to provide R&D for business & industry

Lightfoot selected, "Not too important".

Lightfoot added, "It is not up to the government to provide R&D for business and industry. Business and industry does R&D in order to create new products and make money from those products. That is the natural order of things and must be preserved. Government investment in R&D or any other thing stifles private investment and places artificial control on innovative minds.

Q: Do you agree or disagree that, even if it brings no immediate benefits, basic scientific research that advances the frontiers of knowledge is necessary and should be supported by the federal government?

Lightfoot selected, "Disagree."

Lightfoot added, "Business and industry are the proper place for basic scientific research, not government."

Jon Huntsman: For GOP to win, we can't run from science

A: Listen, when you make comments that fly in the face of what 98 out of 100 climate scientists have said, when you call into question the science of evolution, all I'm saying is that, in order for the Republican Party to win, we can't run from science. We can't run from mainstream conservative philosophy. We've got to win voters; to reach out and bring in independents.
