"Palin The Wealth Spreader: Gov. Imposed Oil Windfall Profits Tax To Allow Alaskans To ‘Share In The Wealth’»
In recent days, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), has begun referring to Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) as “Barack the Wealth Spreader,” referring to his proposed tax plan that would provide greater tax relief for lower income individuals than those with higher incomes. Obama recently explained his support for progressive taxation, saying, “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
Palin contends that Obama’s characterization of his tax plan revealed him to be a “socialist” who wants to “redistribute” American wealth. Palin argues that the Obama tax plan “discourages productivity,” will “punish hardwork,” and will “stifle the entrepreneurial spirit.”
Conservatives in the media have echoed Palin’s sentiments, insinuating that Obama is a “Marxist” and referring to his tax plan as “welfare.”
But Palin’s criticisms of Obama’s “spread the wealth” remarks are ironic, as she recently characterized Alaska’s tax code in a very similar way. Just last month, in an interview with Philip Gourevitch of the New Yorker, Palin explained the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans “share in the wealth” generated by oil companies:
And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. … It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans.
In fact, Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) program, which manages the redistribution of oil wealth in Alaska, brings in so much money that the state needs no income or sales tax. In addition, this year ACES will provide every Alaskan with a check for an estimated $3,200.
As Hendrick Hertzberg notes, “Perhaps there is some meaningful distinction between spreading the wealth and sharing it…but finding it would require the analytic skills of Karl the Marxist.”"..............link to posted story

I like it!! LOL
She also forgot to claim all the free travel
she gave her children and charged the state
lying that they were on business when of course they weren't
She has a voice like fingernails on the blackboard of life.
LOL
I still don't get it.
Obama wants to give people money back from taxes
and those people don't pay taxes in the first place
How can you give people money back
when they didn't pay anything, or do anything,
to begin with?
And Alaska's government was set up
so that the people of Alaska
own the resources in that state
That's just the way it works.
What would you have any governor of
Alaska do?
Would you have the governor of Alaska
not give them the money?
Personally I think it would be great
if in every state the citizens
of that state owned the resources.
But it's not.
when they didn't pay anything, or do anything,
to begin with?
A family of 4...husband works....makes 20 grand a year...gets everything back that he paid in(federal tax)...with his deductions.
It doesn't stop there...his family also gets EIC/earned income credit....I couldn't get it because I grossed more than the limit for the EIC benefit. The limit in 2007 tax year was 38,000(my child is grown and long gone anyway).
The EIC program, spreads the wealth...per Wikipedia, it was started in 1975....when Gerald Ford was President...a Republican.
From Wikipedia...Enacted in 1975, the initially modest EIC has been expanded by tax legislation on a number of occasions, including the more widely-publicized Reagan EIC expansion of 1986.
Plus it was expanded by a Republican.
somewhere around 45% of the lower tax people
do not pay taxes at all
Obama is saying to give them money back
How can you give money back
to people that didn't put any
money in?
Its called a credit....you just get it. no work, no production.Or low pay job no tax paid. They just get our money....
I never said or thought of hating her. I said she was a wack job...or would be as a VP. She's also a hypocrite.
For the record I'm not perfect either..
I could not vote for McCain.... with a hot looking, dense headed, person, after the VP spot.
