Guess she isn't getting a cabinet position.

quote:

“When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent,” she asserted. And in an apparent jab at Trump, whom she famously endorsed in a rambling speech earlier this year, she asked: “Republicans oppose this, remember? Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.”

I have no problem with tax breaks, but it does have to be an even playing field.

Let's not toss around the words "intellectual" and "Palin" too closely together.

How is a tax break a subsidy?

Are people still confused about this?

Technically, she's right. But making a public statement when Trump is trying to gain momentum is idiotic and short sighted. Obviously This can't be done repeatedly, but it was a brilliant start politically to show he's for the working man.

Trump will pass laws that will encourage businesses to stay systemically, so it won't be crony capitalism on a large scale.

Is she referring to the State of Indiana government or the guys that were just elected in November that aren't government yet?

No shite sugar britches. That's why we have a high corporate tax rate, so politicians can sell cuts to it in exchange for favor$.

Maybe we can stop the bleeding, stabilize the country and the perform the necessary reconstructive surgery.

This is why we can't have nice things people!

(And you just got to love libs quoting Sara Palin as economic gospel. Is this the greatest election or what?)

I'm going to say something I don't think I've ever said before: "Sarah Palin is completely right."

No kidding

May just be sour grapes, but first thing she's said in a while that wasn't just piling on or just outlandishly stupid.

I guess she should've endorsed Cruz

In the meantime, how about being happy for the people who get to keep their J-O-B
