Musings From April 2010

From a discussion concerning Ms Palin (then on Fox News): Republican policy in this era can be boiled down to (i) lowering taxes on the most affluent (meaning those with less bear a greater share of tax burdens, or we go into debt to pay for our expenses, a delayed version of the same thing) and (ii) "conservative" social policy (meaning, in theory, that religious values are foisted on others of different faiths, but in practice a half hearted nod to get the support of the less affluent for policies that harm them).
