Re: Share the wealth
by
Katy T
Redistribution of wealth when in comes to taxes is not fair to the people of this state. Tax policies of the government are becoming complex nowadays without giving due consideration to the economic crises and meltdowns being experienced by everyone. Sarah Palin's earmarked money, for example, is a drop in the federal budget. In these times of economic meltdowns, using government funds and pegging them for a specific cause is not a good idea. Sarah Palin may have a good intention on these but thinking about the practicality of doing it, it's a big NO NO. The real problem here is that Palin asked for $140 million to be set aside for her state, which makes Alaska one of the biggest users of earmarks in the U.S. This is after she gave a large cash advance building an oil pipeline. And she's also having her daughters' contentious break up to deal with. Rumors are still going around about her running in 2012, but if she fails to live up to campaign promises it won't be an easy sell for Sarah Palin for President.
