Hey, Sarah Palin owes back taxes, and she didn't even get a cabinet appointment! What a rip-off. Good thing she can claim so many dependents, right?

Turns out that "per diem" she got for staying at her own damn house in Wasilla counts as "income"!

The governor's office wouldn't say this week how much she owes in back taxes for meal money, or whether she intends to continue to receive the per diem allowance. As of December, she was still charging the state for meals and incidentals.

"The amount of taxes owed is a private matter," Sharon Leighow, Palin's spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "If the governor collects future per diem, those documents would be a matter of public record."

Yes, it's a "private matter" because she's not gonna serve in Obama's cabinet.

3. Why is it a private matter? She's a public servant. nt

4. She is charging her meals to the state, but told the people they could

"consume" moose meat. Her taxes should not be a private matter because she is a public servant.
