Palin Spreads The Wealth

Posted on 10/27/2008 at 11:06 pm by Bob Cesca

Sarah Palin in an interview with The New Yorker last month:

And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. … It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans.

So Palin supports “sharing the wealth.” Of course she does because that’s how America works. Everyone pays taxes to the government, and the government spreads it around.

But see how mavericky she is? She’s fighting herself. Sarah Palin is taking on Sarah Palin. It’s like Captain Kirk fighting Evil Scratched-Face Captain Kirk.

    Amazing. “Of course she does because that’s the way it works.” The fact that she just throws around “wordage” like “your money, your inventory….” all of it will be taken away–your *inventory*? Truly much more sci fi than evil Kirk. Very Orwellian, actually.btw, my daughter loved your Palin Heads pals “seriously twisted” is the phrase I think she used. :D

    Not only are Alaskans “sharing the wealth” from the oil, but they also have the highest per capita return on federal taxes paid of any state in the country. Per the figures for 2005 (I forgot the link – sorry) Alaska gets a return of $1.83 for every fed. tax dollar paid. CT, OTOH, gets about $.75. CT residents have to pay a state income tax to make up the shortfall, while Alaskans are the recipients of the redistributed wealth.Palin’s a hypocrite – but then, we knew that.
