Palin Boosted Oil-Company Taxes While Alaska Had Budget Surplus
By Alison Fitzgerald - September 6, 2008 00:01 EDT
Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) — Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who has joined the Republican national ticket as a tax-cutter, was a driving force in raising a tax on oil companies last year that will help swell the state’s budget surplus.
Yep. She fell victem to the mob mentality on this topic. I keep telling people, it’s hard enough to work in the conditions we have in this state and raping the producers isn’t going to help us out. They are going to continue to look elsewhere for cheaper solutions until we pull our heads out and work together. Let Capitalism reign!
