As Jim Galloway of The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports, Georgia Republican Governor Sonny Perdue is not a true believer in supply side economics.

In essence, Perdue said the economic theories espoused by Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp — that lower taxes actually generate more government revenue — are a gamble that don’t have a place in Georgia.

Not in hard times.

Here’s what Perdue said, as aired on Friday:

“Georgia’s a balanced budget state. And it’s very difficult to do the stimulus-type bills in a state that’s starved for revenue and cash at the same time.

So that kind of destroys a supply-side theory within a state government.”

Georgians should give the Governor a call and ask him why he doesn't understand that lower tax rates provide incentives for the private sector to create wealth, which does more good than any government program. (404)-656-1776
