I finally agree with one of Water Watcher's conservative economic statements. On May 2nd he posted: " So who should be imposed the windfall profit tax ... i say the government, not the business that employees people and makes the money."

A windfall tax on business eliminates jobs and is passed on in higher prices. It is an example of taking from the rich and , through income redistribution, giving to the poor. Sort of a Robin Hood approach to bad economic policy. Kinda like Socialism.

Yet, that is exactly what Sarah Palin did as Governor of Alaska. She pushed through a Windfall Tax on oil companies. The State collected $6 billion for the fiscal year that ended June 30. Then, distributed the $1,200 to each resident of Alaska. Her family collected $8,400 based on 7 family members. Now, that is Socialism!

Then, she turned around and asked for $197 million in earmarks from the Federal Government. And she is against earmarks!!!!!!!! Now, that is Socialism.

Imagine, a Republican supporting Socialism and earmarks!!! That should make one drink some Thunderbird rather than a $150 bottle of wine!!!!

I need to order some drugs from Canada. Be back later!!!!!!
