Several videos and opinions have come out calling Santorum a big-government candidate. Here is an excellent article proving otherwise.

And one of the very best counters to those claims is this article by Rush Limbaugh himself!

Rick Santorum has a long history of cutting taxes, reducing spending and fighting for a balanced budget amendment. He even took on leaders of his own party in that fight. He has never voted for a tax increase, and one year introduced more original bills cutting spending than anyone else.
Sarah Palin said Rick Santorum's "been consistent in saying we need to slash the federal income tax."
Santorum is a member of the "Gang of Seven" that exposed taxpayer scandals at Congressional bank and Congressional post office. This is one of the reasons the Washington Post praised Santorum as "a tea-party kinda guy before the tea party even existed."
Rick Santorum has called for significant tax rate cuts for middle class Americans and will cut wasteful spending to take the growing deficit off the backs of our children.
