Political Quotes

“I have an article from June 24, 2009, from The Wall Street Journal, entitled ``Maine Miracle.'' I will just quote a couple of things from the article. ``At last, there's a place in America where tax cutting to promote growth and attract jobs is back in fashion. Who would have thought it would be Maine? ``This month, the Democratic legislature and Governor John Baldacci broke with Obamanomics and enacted a sweeping tax reform that is almost, but not quite, a flat tax.'' This is a big income tax cut, especially given that so many other States in the Northeast have been increasing rates. At the end, it says, ``One question is how Democrats in Augusta were able to withstand the cries by interest groups of `tax cuts for the rich?' Mr. Baldacci's snappy reply: `Without employers, you don't have employees.' He adds: `The best social services program is a job.' Wise and timely advice for both Democrats and Republicans as the recession rolls on and budgets get squeezed.''”
