Wrong. Any tax cut is good conservative policy. Same goes for spending reform on welfare entitlement programs. Good conservative policy.
If you cut the gas tax, and the price doesn't fall, that is not good conservative policy, and it's not good politics. In fact, it's a conservative nightmare that the Dems will rant about for months. If you cut the income tax, then you don't worry about whether it filtered down to the consumer in the form of a price cut at the pump.
I agree. Some around here do not understand the industry, or business in general.
