Get this line:

The new tax brought in an estimated $6 billion in the last budget year, bulging Alaska's treasury with an expected surplus of as much as $9 billion. Thst enabled Palin to push a second initiative — giving each Alaskan $1,200 to help them cope with high energy costs. Sound familiar? Obama has proposed taxing the windfall profits of the five biggest oil companies and giving people $1,000 to pay for high energy costs. Palin called such financial help "a tool that must be on the table" although she differs with Obama on where the money's source. Like McCain, Palin says a national windfall profits tax on oil companies will hinder domestic energy production. Democrats are expected to be quick to ask: If it's good for Alaska, why isn't it good for the country?

Don’t you mean the lies?

You can’t make points if you’re arming yourself with falsehoods.

Sorry forgot the sarcastic tag.

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

Yeah, I do that sometimes.

I still don’t understand your point though.

Since when is raising taxes on a business a good thing?

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

Um, in a small handful of situations it’s necessary.

In this situation, I’m sure we both agree that it was unnecessary.

However, the point I’m making is that the media is mistating her tax policy and they have to be doing it intentionally as a form of a smear.
