Wisconsin Pays for Sarah Palin's Communist System

Wisconsin pays for Sarah Palin's Communist ways in Alaska. Stalin, move over.

The irony of the redistribution of money from one set of states to another is that the receiving states are generally Red States. The result is a taking of hard earned money from states like Wisconsin and sending those dollars to Alaska.

Here are some of the example of the redistribution of wealth that Palin and her pinko fellow travelers support:

• Interstate Highways. The construction of the federal interstate highway system, supposedly for national defense purposes, was financed by us northeners. Tax dollars from Illinois went to Alabama, from New York to Texas and from Wisconsin to Alaska. States too cheap to build their own highways saw new expressways financed by the industrial North and Midwest.
• Rural Eelectrification. We all know the story of the financing of the TVA. The north paid to bring electricity to the rural south. The way the south paid back the north was by opening non-union factories.
• Postal Service for Alaska.  Anyone who watches late night TV knows that shipping to Alaska and Hawaii costs more. To send a first class letter from Alaska to the lower forty-eight should require a doubling of the first class rates. Sarah Palin insists that Jill the Plumber pay for subsidizing mail to Alaska.
• Family travel. When I was in public office the public never paid for Sara or the kids' travel or lodging expenses. Making Joe the Plumber pay for $240 night lodging or $700 apiece airline tickets for her kids is the ultimate in Communism. Maybe she thinks taking from the poor and giving to the rich makes it OK.
• Federal gas-tax money. Alaska Thanks You.

According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a non-partisan watchdog group in Washington, that breaks down to $1,150 for every Alaskan in "earmark" funding for in-state projects alone, 25 times what the average American garners for his or her home state.

That comes to $6.60 paid to Alaska for each dollar paid in. Wisconsin does a little better than breaking even getting back $1.05.

• All Taxes. Alaska ranks between 3rd and 5th over the last five years in receiving federal tax dollars. They get back about $1.85 for every dollar they send to Washington. Wisconsin gets back $0.84; we rank about 45th.
• The Bailout of AIG and Lehman Bro's. Enuf said.

Throughout her entire political career, Sarah Palin, Communist and fellow traveler, has had no problem taking redistributed wealth.

She has no problem with redistributing the wealth.

She never asks if the redistribution results in investment in infrastructure and human capacity that is environmentally sound and the best way to stimulate private investment.

Sarah Palin knows that even before the adoption of the flat federal income tax in 1894, the United States government has redistributed wealth. The movement of money from one group of taxpayers to another was advanced by the adoption of the Sixteenth amendment to the Constitution, the advent of the automobile on American roads, and accelerated by the Great Depression.

I take it that this is your formal endorsement of Palin. I know you would not be for any candidate that was less of a communist than Stalin.

Could this be why Palin's husband is a secessionist? And why she spoke to them as recently as 2006?

I use to live in Alaska and you got this artical all wrong. Who are you? You must be anouther one of those far left wing gossipers that spread your slimy lies. Do the research before you write articles of such. I will add your article to my present portfollio for future investigations....

txyankee, hate to have you delve too deep but what exactly was wrong with the article. ONe thing you'll see in liberal land is that we actually ask people to back up their statements with facts instead of just calling them slimy lies, try and explain why they would be considered slimy. I know that on the right that is normal fare and the louder and more obnoxious you can be the better, facts be damned, but not here on the left hand side of the internet. FWIW, the general trend is for the red states to get more money paid back than they put in for federal taxes and blue states get back less. It has increased drastically over the past eight years. Why does California stay in this country? Here's the link to the data. http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22685.html

Txyankee the ever conservative. Thats what is ruining this country. You put Palin in office and the rich keep getting richer. What about the poor people in this world. We got a voice. Its not in Alaska. Its time for some liberal views bring on Obama

I don't see what's wrong with what Paul has written. In conservative this is not considered redistribution, somehow they see it as thier money. Take Alaska, with its state run pipeline and heavily taxed (yes there is that evil word) industry. The people of Alaska pay no income tax and yet get a refund of thier money from the oil companies. Really! What they are getting is our money, since we are the ones buying the gasoline that is creating the oil company profits. That money should either come to the rest of the country (Country First?) or the companies shouldn't be taxed at all (seems to be Alaska's position on business taxes).

Oh yeah? Well...well...well...Obama pals around with terrorists!

I now have to change my pants as I just pissed myself from laughing. Paul, you have to add this quote to your header.

txyankee is the screen name for O.J. Simpson, who will add this article to his present portfolio for future investigations, right behind his ongoing search for the real killers. Apparently he's got a lead that they're in prison....
