I appreciate Sarah Palin and the energy she brings to fiscally austere conservatives, as well as to socially conservative voters. I consider myself both socially conservative and pro-austerity when it comes to spending.

However, I have never heard Sarah Palin articulate the conservative position on tax rates and cuts and their stimulating effect on the economy. I'd like to know she has a strong and deep understanding in her core about how important cutting marginal rates on personal income at the high brackets, cutting capital gains taxes (or eliminating them), and cutting corporate tax rates (or eliminating them). The next President needs to not only be austere, but also pro-growth. We do not need a conservative that thinks you have to "pay for tax cuts." There are quite a few who do not understand the Laffer curve, and I do not want to get involved in promoting a candidate who will take on the conservative label and not know what it means in such an important area. I made that mistake with GWB, but I do not intend to make it again.

GWB did cut cap gains and cut the top rate on personal income a little, and I definitely was grateful to him for that. But the whole of his presidency was one who carried the mantle of conservatism without really understanding it or being able to articulate it well. We cannot afford that again.

She is a supply sider.

Owns a commercial fishing busines and has owned a service station. She communicates these ideas exceptionally well to the common folks.

Explaining the Laffer Curve is for policy wonks and economists. Not for the elecatorate.
