oops...who's the socialist?? 

Letter from Alaska: The State of Sarah Palin: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker

can you say hypocrite? sure... I knew you could.

Collectively owning resources is socialism. That is the pure definition of socialism is having collective ownership.

That's pretty much what I learned in school.

And she said, “Our state constitution—it lays it out for me, how I’m to conduct business with resource development here as the state C.E.O. It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans.”

Alaska is sometimes described as America’s socialist state, because of its collective ownership of resources—an arrangement that allows permanent residents to collect a dividend on the state’s oil royalties. It has been Palin’s good fortune to govern the state at a time of record oil prices, which means record dividend checks: two thousand dollars for every Alaskan. And because high oil prices also mean staggering heating bills in such a cold place—and because it’s always good politics to give money to voters—Palin got the legislature this year to send an extra twelve hundred dollars to every Alaskan man, woman, and child.

Wow, so do you suppose they really think Palin wrote the Alaska Constitution?   

Maybe I missed the part about raising taxes on those evil rich people so more poor people could afford broadband internet and cable TV?
