Jindal junked a Reagan quote and used a family anecdote to sell his tax plan. But the truth poorly serves his argument that taxes are behind the state's brain drain.
How stunning was Jindal's setback? Consider: A GOP governor couldn’t convince a GOP Legislature in a red state to help him cut income taxes — his No. 1 priority.
Moseley acknowledges it’s a bit of a confidence game at first, but if the tax plan coincides with continuing business expansion, voodoo economics may finally have found its high priest.
