WASILLA, Alaska - Sarah Palin and her husband have pieced together a uniquely Alaskan income that reached comfortably into six figures even before she became governor, capitalizing on valuable fishing rights, a series of land deals and a patchwork of other ventures to build an above-average lifestyle.

Obama’s house is worth something like 1.3 million...
Good for Sarah and Todd, way to go.
which would you rather have in charge? seems fairly simple.
and as i hear more about the dems pushing the 'tax the top 5%' (over $125k/yr individual) ... i get more and more aggravated with having to pay for people that partied through high school, didn't get the grades, never went to college, barely did 40 hrs/week and have no concept of sacrifice. why should i continue to give over 50% of my income (33% + 7.5 *2 == 48% ... more if i didn't live in an income tax free state)?? seriously, what do i get for it?
if all i made was $100k... that'd be about $48k per year. i have a tough time finding anything i buy that even comes close to that cost in a single year.
and obama is going to jack the tax rate higher? (just google obama and reparations for more fun).
screw this ... this is getting stupid
It’s a nice house, but it didn’t look “upper class”. Looked like a mid-western house.
Sounds like the Palins are hard-working, thrifty, and have good business sense.
Folks like that are in demand now more than ever, I hear.
Todd and his buddies built the house. Having a one million dollar net worth is not all that uncommon if you factor in real estate and retirement accounts.
Seriously. I’ll bet the BRECK GIRLS hair products bill comes to $1million bucks a year!! Heck his mistress makes $100 grand for a couple of months “work”...all the money under the table, no taxes probably. (her work was probably under the table as well!!) LOL
We haven’t heard a “peep” about him.
His electric bill for a year is probably more than I make.
Two public school teachers reach comfortably into a 6 figure annual income.
Nope not at all. But I hear the shrill screams of “she’s a millionaire, she’s got a boat, two cars, and a snowmobile”.
If you look at people’s home (or circa 2006) many people worked to have a million or 2)
The Palins are a success story
They are an “all-american family” with the values to back it up.
Todd built their house and Barack stole his. Glad we have such a loyal Establishment press.
Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops
Show me one positive article about the Palins that has been posted on FR since Sep. 1st.
I can’t remember where I heard it, maybe the Greta interview, but I thought Todd said it took $180,000 to build the house.
Well, since the Palins aren’t
A) Movie and pop music stars
B) Professional athletes
C) Democratic Party contributors
their sources of income are immediately suspect by the MSM!
Who the hell cares! Was Kerry, the silky pony, Obama, Biden asked this? You know the Palins worked for their money. Which is more than I can say about alot of those SOBs on the hill. Good for them! News Flash! Sara just got a pedicure! Sheese!
“Everyone just relax, this is not a negative article on the Palin’s. A lot of stories are negative about them, this is not one of them.”
It’s not negative but they are practically screaming “hey look people she isn’t really like you”.
We know who Sarah is. We other “Rubies” can spot one a mile away, right, Ladies? :)
Proverbs 31:10-31(NIV)
10 [a] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
