I have all but given up on Republican politicians. But Gov. Sarah Palin may make me change my mind.
James Pethokoukis' at US News offers this quote from her 2006 campaign for Governor:
"As Mayor and CEO of the booming city of Wasilla, my team invited investment and encouraged business growth by eliminating small business inventory taxes, eliminated personal property taxes, reduced real property tax mill levies every year I was in office, reduced fees, and built the infrastructure our businesses needed to grow and prosper."
He ends his assessment with the following:
And don't forget she was apparently a Steve Forbes supporter in 1996 and has spoken favorably of Ron Paul. While economic conservatives surely want to hear much more from her, they see things right now as "so far, so good."
Indeed. Her addition to the McCain ticket may not be enough to win me back this fall -- only time will tell. But, Palin in 2016 (or maybe even in 2012) may have a nice ring to it for those of us yearning for a pro entrepreneurship free enterprise agenda.
