Sam;

Just to put the Palin thoughts into context.

Palin increased taxes on oil companies and the people of Alaska get over $3,200 partially as a result of this "democratic" idea. So for her family, that would be $22,400 dollars of free money this year. In addition, when she was mayor of Wasilla she sucked pork out of Washington - another thing she claims to be against. It is little wonder that she is popular in Alaska - but how popular will she be in Alaska as the pork for state dries up and the oil dividend shrinks?

>>Allen, the $1200 is "new" money, coming as a result of the Palin tax.<<

Thanks for the confirmation.
