Great thoughts of Scott Walker: Treat taxes like a Kohl shirt

Sacramento Bee - Understand Kohl’s way of doing business and you understand my thoughts about governing, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told New Hampshire Republicans Saturday night.

Walker, a likely Republican presidential candidate, likes to talk about a shirt he bought from the department store for virtually nothing, thanks to coupons. So how does Wisconsin-based Kohl’s stay in business?

With what Walker calls the “Kohl’s curve.” Instead of selling that shirt at a high price, they lower the cost and attract more customers, so more people can afford it. That philosophy, Walker said, can be applied to Washington: Lower tax rates, get more people to work, and the economy will thrive.
