In her first paid public speech outside of North America, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate said Washington is the problem, not the solution.
"We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place," Palin said Wednesday at a conference sponsored by investment firm CLSA Asia Pacific Markets. "We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom."
Palin also stressed the importance of the global fight against terrorism and of enlisting the help of China, which "rightfully makes a lot of people nervous."
Palin didn't refer to President Obama by name, but "utopian sounding" campaign promises have not materialized. She blamed the financial crisis on the Federal Reserve's low interest rate policy of previous years. Tax cuts and elimination of the capital gains and estate tax would allow the world to "watch the U.S. economy roar back to life," Palin said.

^^^ Should be:
Not ALL markets are free markets.
She was ‘on message’ as the VP candidate.
But believe me, she’s going to be heard louder and more clearly on this subject than anyone. This is just the beginning. After the coverage of this speech I’ve great hopes for her book. And she’s going to force all Republicans, including her weaselly primary competition, to stake out ground further to the economic right.
This is huge for what it may mean for the economic recovery of our country.
When I hear someone blaming or demonizing Wall Street, I immediately think the person is a socialist, big government loving, hate the rich liberal who has watched one too many Michael Moore films.
If that's who you are and what you believe, then you are part of the problem and I want nothing to do with you or what you are for.

Not by you.
yes - eliminating the tax on income would go a long way to restoring financial health -
As far as the imported workers, please, We are not producing the math and science majors to run the top end simulation programs I got to see it in person. But we have plenty of liberal arts majors with diversity and women's studies under their belt. We do need a manufacturing base back, and CAFTA and NAFTA would be toast if we had a 15% Corp Tax. We can outproduce anyone IMHO, the question is, is their anyone left that really knows how to make things, many of the old timers have taken packages or were let go. But I will admit, I do need to read more on where she stands on the border. If my memory is correct, it was drilling and the border where she disagreed with McCain.
