Sarah Palin

Been awhile, been busy, holidays and all. The fact is, its hard to keep writing unless you get the urge and I have the urge. Anyways Sarah Palin has a new book and a new job. I guess the idiots over at Fox News hired her so it would make Glenn Beck smart. So for someone who is so against taxes lets look at her record in Alaska. Her greatest accomplishment as Mayor of Wasilla was a 15 million dollar hockey arena. Lots of money for a town with an annual budget of 20 million. But it gets better as she OKs a bond issue for the project before the land had been secured. This lead to a protracted legal battle that ultimately cost the towns taxpayers to pay six times the original price for the property and the city had to in the end, seize the property using eminent domain. To pay for this she raised Wasillas sales tax by 25%. As governor she presided over a state that is first in federal spending per resident, though the citizens of Alaska are eighteenth in income taxes paid to the federal government. Who makes up the difference? We do, everyone outside of Alaska pays each of their citizens over 8500 dollars per year per to be spent their. It gets even better. Alaska has the highest state taxes per capita of all fifty states. So when you are watching her on Fox News and she starts spouting some bullshit about taxes and big government remember what you have read here. These are facts not soundbites from a brain dead hick that has no clue that there is a North Korea and a South Korea but that's a whole other story.
