“JUNEAU, Alaska -

Alaska is awash in billions of surplus dollars from the current high oil prices and a tax hike on the oil industry, but it remains at the forefront of states feeding at the federal trough.

With Big Oil and U.S. spending now the main drivers in Alaska’s boom and bust economy, Gov. Sarah Palin has been blessed to arrive at a high point in the state’s 50-year history of statehood.

Residents here pay no state income taxes or state sales taxes. And this year they are the beneficiaries of the greatest period of government-to-citizen largesse in state history, where getting a yearly check from the government is a decades-old tradition.

Under Palin’s watch, the state added $1,200 to the annual checks sent to Alaskans as part of what’s called the Permanent Fund Dividend, a stipend from the proceeds of the state’s more than $30 billion oil-rich investment account. That translated to a record $3,269 this fall for every eligible man, woman and child in Alaska – almost $23,000 for a family of seven like Palin’s.”

Wow, Alaskan “socialists” have it pretty good….$23,000 for doing nothing??? Sounds like Kuwait. No wonder hubby Todd is a secessionist. Why would Alaskans want to share that kind of corporate welfare with the rest of us?
Uhhh….”United Church of Love” dude?

First of all, thanks for all the “Love”….secondly, you can’t hold me responsible for the fact you don’t know how to use your computer. Peace, brother.
“RTR100AOL” ….. ditto to you, even though I’m sure you didn’t even try, just like your “Church of Love” brother who answered before you did. I guess I must’ve hit a nerve with you 2 guys, since you were the only ones who claim this URL doesn’t exist. Whatsamatter??? Truth hurt too much so you have to pretend it doesn’t exist. Nice try. Stay in denial. It’s people like you and Church of Love who gave us the last 8 years of a Bush hell. Keep up the good work. Let’s bomb some more countries.. I’m sure you’d enjoy seeing more civilian casualties,, wouldn’t you “Church of Love”?? War is so, I don’t know, what’s the word…..”LOVING”??????
