Man, she sounds WAY too dumb to be president. </sarcasm>

What’s this “extending” crap?
What’s wrong with the word “permanent?”
Permanent works for me!

Well now, hold on Sarah, I need to read what Mitt and Newt say first before I make a decision on your latest post. Oh, never mind.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Just picked up ‘Dismantling America’ by Sowell from my library today. Heading to bed early to start reading!

Love him! Love Sarah! :)

[factmart]

She sound like Reagan, but unlike reagan she has always been a conservative!

Sowell ping

You go girl!

Palin “above the fray” ping

[Atlas Sneezed]

In “America By Heart” folks will get a feel for some of my favorite writers and thinkers. One of them is the great economist Thomas Sowell.

God bless this wonderful woman.

Sarah Palin on Thomas Sowell Ping!

Thanks for the heads up, Gene Eric!

[Lakeshark]

Great post Al, it's a shame she's not smarter about the economy like Mitt, right?

:-)

[Walts Ice Pick]

Go Sarah!!

The Laffer curve will tell you whether to raise or lower taxes to increase revenues. Since governments tend to over-tax, it would be correct in possibly 99% of the cases to reduce them to see an increase.

Still, we're only talking federal taxes here which doesn't take into account the cumulative effect taxes have on people when all forms of taxation paid to government reach levels of 50-60-70% etc. Sheltering income becomes a priority at these levels.

Had the feds been kept within the bounds intended by the Constitution, their 'share' of taxes would be significantly lower today. This mal-administration intends to bankrupt this country with the hope they might install a VAT tax to close gaps that will result from their spending, and, failure to extend tax breaks to all incomes is a clear indication of this intent.

As the purse-snatching party, the rat-0-crats have had this planned all along. Anyone earning more than $30K per year thats votes for them is braindead. Their plan is to steal from everyone they can, not just those 250K and higher. They'll snatch what you've got any way they can.

It's an easy argument to make? Then why isn't it being made, in public?

Is it being taught in school or do they teach 'hate the rich' doctrine now instead?

Common sense? It's voodoo economics, don't you know?

The rino-progressives (Rove, Krauthammer, Nicole Wallace, any of the Bush family, and whoever else) are wrong to the point of being criminal (in spirit if not in deed) when they promote socialism while refusing to recognize Palin’s excellent qualifications for the Oval Office. As seen in Palin’s comments here.

You rinos have no rational argument against her. And yes, you are promoting socialism.

[Non-Sequitur]

“What does that record say? It says, loud and clear, that cuts in tax rates do not mean cuts in tax revenues. In all four of these administrations, of both parties, so-called “tax cuts for the rich” led to increased tax revenues — with people earning high incomes paying not only a larger sum total of tax revenues, but even a higher proportion of all tax revenues.

And in the last two cases the cuts led to large deficits. Tax cuts are only half the answer. Spending cuts need to go hand-in-hand with them. I notice that Palin didn't talk about that.

[SupplySider]

Awesome comments.

She's been pro-growth since before she hit the national stage.

If only her Washington repub brothers would drop the austerity/cuts paradigm and join her in the Reagan optimism corner.
