"Right now I am very disillusioned with the Republicans' policies," said Michael Retzer, a Republican and a consultant to a supplier for Harley-Davidson. Mr. Retzer told Mr. Snow at a Harley plant near Milwaukee that he did not see how the tax cuts would stimulate the economy when so many consumers would spend the extra money on goods made overseas.

A Republican... and he's opposed to tax cuts and has no idea who the economics of tax cuts work? I'm really sure that guy's a solid Republican. (/sarcasm)

"how" they work...

Sounds like a pitchforker.

HA! We saw this on C-Span Friday night (the Mr and me). This guy was NOT a republican, he had to be a plant, and I don't even believe in the parties using plants. He was too well rehearsed in his lines "I've always been a Republican but..." it was so contrived and phony.

The gentleman made a valid point, one which you cannot refute. Neither can the administration. At least Bush refrains from making snide public remarks at the economic difficulties caused by massive taxation and regulation on working Americans.

Bush could help reverse the bleeding of jobs by pressuring Congress to shift the majority of the tax burden to foreign entities wishing to exploit our consumer market, and repealing 99.9% of the regulatory idiocy that stifles our productivity. The big question is: why is this not happening?
