For those of you who read the poorly-researched Seattle Times' story claiming that Gov. Palin is a supporter of "windfall profits taxes" on oil companies, I wanted to offer proof that nothing could be further from the truth. The following is a quote from a recent press release from Gov. Palin's office (in which she thanked Barack Obama for finally admitting that tapping Alaskan resources could be a good thing).
The Governor did question the means to pay for Obama’s proposed rebate — a windfall profits tax on oil companies. In Alaska, the state’s resource valuation system, ACES, provides strong incentives for companies to re-invest their profits in new production.
“Windfall profits taxes alone prevent additional investment in domestic production. Without new supplies from American reserves, our dependency and addiction to foreign sources of oil will continue,” Governor Palin said.
I will be posting more on this tomorrow, but if you want the real facts about Gov. Palin's tax policy, there is a massive amount of information provided on her website.

I thought it sounded wrong that she supported “windfall profits taxes”. Thanks for posting this.

Hmmmm...wasn't I believe there was an article posted here just the other day about the state of Alaska imposing a larger tax on the oil companies giving every single Alaskan and extra $1200 on top of the $2000 they get every year. If she's not for windfall profit taxes then how did the state manage to enact the additional tax this year...just curious.

The pot calling the kettle black.
Palin signed a windfall profits tax in Alaska. Who’s kidding who?
To: TitansAFC
Palin’s administration not only raised taxes on the oil companies to compensate for falling oil production, they made the increase retroactive in time.
The actions of her administration contributed to my decision to leave working in the Alaska Oil patch and return to Texas.

My understanding of the deal she cut is that it’s NOT a tax, but rather a royalty on a sliding scale.
