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.
Walker also took a dig at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, musing that she’s probably never shopped at Kohl’s.
Walker spoke to the “First in the Nation’’ summit dinner for about half an hour. He urged Republicans to “go big and go bold” in dreaming how they can streamline the government and make it more efficient.
He spoke in an awkwardly-shaped set of restaurant rooms at the Nashua hotel where the meeting has been taking place. The main site of the two-day summit was occupied Saturday night by a wedding.
