Unless that individual is an employee or shareholder of an oil company or one of it's many contractors or suppliers and other beneficiaries from the trickle down effect of increased employment.

When it comes to politicians pay attention to what they do, not what they say.

 

Re: Going Rogue

Like follow the law of the land?

Palin was following the law of the land to enforce the rights of her people who own the oil hugo.


We have already established you also get welfare from the unearned funds that are paid on your behalf into Government because of oil revenue. The forms welfare take may look different but the question is, did you "EARN" the money that was paid on your behalf?

No.

So if you did not "EARN" it, then that money was a form of welfare all residents of Texas benefit from.


Here in Florida we do not have a state income tax, this is made possible because my state has higher taxes on the vacation/resort industry. Every Floridian benefits from a large portion of our taxes being paid by other people.

Is that a form of welfare?

Sure, from a certain perspective, our vacation industry is a kind or state resource that we all benefit from.


******************

I don't see a problem with that and maybe that makes me look a tad socialist to some very narrow minded people but to me I prefer sharing things equally to eliminate corruption.


If we gave individual politicians discretinary control over that kind of money on a election to election basis, it would be too much of a temptation for the average person. Consider that almost all politicians are also lawyers, people trained in the art of telling lies.

Re: Going Rogue

Total State Expenditures per Capita, SFY2008


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

Newer numbers. Sarah increased socialism, in the state that was already the most socialist in the union, by 30%. Of course, she is a Republican it is great!! Republican socialism good. Democrat socialism bad! Good grief, no wonder we running down the path to serfdom. Florida voted for Barack Obama.

I have set my computer so those with IQs below 50 are on ignore. In case someone is wondering why I am not responding to his ignorant and childish drivel.

Re: Going Rogue

You got ten points on Palin.

 

Re: Going Rogue

How the **** does a state spend 18K per citizen? Y'all eating caviar, snaf?

 

Re: Going Rogue

I'm pretty sure it has a lot do do with a very low population and that leads to the government responsibility for the land management of a state that is more than twice the size of the next largest.

 

Re: Going Rogue

I'm betting it has a lot to do with welfare for the indigenous population.

 

Re: Going Rogue

Probably a lot of that too. They should pass that on to the Feds like most states do.

 

Re: Going Rogue

It also has to do with the high prices on almost everything. It's kinda like Hawaii where things have to be shipped in at high cost.

 

Re: Going Rogue

If the octomom moved to Alaska they would need another 270K.

The budgets are here http://fin.admin.state.ak.us/dof/financial_reports/resource/budget_report_fy08.pdf

I found the $632,765 for the governor's make up in 2008 a bit excessive.

 

Re: Going Rogue

Octomom is my favorite of all the X-Men.

 

Re: Going Rogue

Everything has to be flown in at these villages across Alaska on mostly bush planes. Yeah they eat caviar but it's organic salmon roe they harvest themselves. The bread and butter on the other hand needs to be flown in as the fuel to cook and heat their homes. Milk as I said before goes for up to $10 a gallon in most villages. So it is extremely expensive for these people to live.

 

Re: Going Rogue

Why did those expenses go up 30% under Palin? I don't want just a social conservative, I want an economic conservative.

 

Re: Going Rogue

I don't know that it did go up by that much. I do know that all across America gas prices went up thus making expenses higher up here too.

 

Re: Going Rogue

The thing hugo fails to understand is that we are not talking about Texas where everything is dirt cheap even the labor to build things where illegals from Mexico are conviently overlooked while they are needed to build a Government building but then are bad any other time.

As snaf points out, milk costs $10, now if we compare that cost to what the rest of us pay for milk, we see a lot more than a 30% increase on just one item.



Recent reports show that many states have run out of money in their unemployment accounts, most are experiencing massive shortfalls in tax collection while at the same time they were already deficit spending just like our Federal Government.


30%?

Maybe Alaska was the only State who saw what was comming and planned for it?



Hugo lives in a State where money he has not earned is used to offset his personal tax burdon, that is also welfare, but you notice he will never address that. Sure, he says he put me on ignore, he says that is because I am not smart but consider this........why is it someone who is so stupid can ask questions too difficult for him to respond to?

If I am stupid and my questions are too hard for him to answer, then he must be completely brain dead and only parrotting what he sees from other people instead of actually being able to discuss these things on his own.

 

Re: Going Rogue

I'd like to see those numbers adjusted for cost of living. That would better tell the story.
