"Wake up America!!" - The story we need to be pushing on Palin is the ALASKIN ECONOMY!!!

"Alaska ranks No. 1 in taxes per resident and No. 1 in spending per resident"

Everyone already knows that she has ZERO foreign policy experience. It's time to go after her on the EXECUTIVE bullshit.

"As if it couldn't support itself, Alaska also ranks No. 1, year after year, in money it sucks in from Washington. In 2005 (the most recent figures), according to the Tax Foundation, Alaska ranked 18th in federal taxes paid per resident ($5,434) but first in federal spending received per resident ($13,950). Its ratio of federal spending received to federal taxes paid ranks third among the 50 states, and in the absolute amount it receives from Washington over and above the amount it sends to Washington, Alaska ranks No. 1."

1. and yet she's popular up there????

what do they keep everyone drunk 24-7 so they can't see the connection between her and their struggling economy?

2. She sent a $1200.00 check to everyone! I don't know if it was to

every resident, or if it was to every family, but getting what they saw a free and unexpected money DID make her quite popular!

3. Alaska A Welfare State Sucking Us Dry

Fed Spending per Alaskan: 14K vs 5K in taxes they pay.

-------------------

I am trying to get your message into bite size bits that the average independent voter can digest. Republicans are so good at this. Lets try again.

Pallin Runs A Socialist Welfare State.
3 to 1 in Feds spending per taxes paid.
3K per citizen from Socialist Oil Fund payments.

-----------------------------------------
Running Alaska's Federal Welfare State is not relevant to any State where citizens pay taxes to the government instead of receiving handouts of Oil Trust money and Federal Pork. In other words, the other 49.

(Dang that won't fit on a bumper sticker.)
