Palin cut taxes on Persona Property but raised the Sales Tax...
Once again, the people who can least afford to feed the kitty are forced to bear the brundt of the budget.

Hey you own a house, no tax...

Buy some beef jerky, pay some tax...

1. Typical. Sales tax is the most regressive tax.

2. I was told that she actually INITIATED a Sales Tax for one area.
When I first saw the posting about "increasing sales tax" I asked "How can that be? Alaska doesn't HAVE a State Sales Tax!" Someone from AK responded that she had initiated on in one area when there was no tax before, and that it is true AK doesn't have a State Sales Tax nor a State Income Tax.

3. The exact opposite...
...of progressive taxation.

A Republican's wet dream...
