Socialism! Palin's $$ distribution to each Alaskan.

Just saw reference to this on the scroll on CNN. Every person in Alaska gets more than $2000 from the oil revenues. Sounds like a perfect example of socialism!

1. Quit Badmouthing Socialism!

Democratic Socialism is a fine system that works in many countries with more freedom than we have here. Just ask Sen. Bernie Sanders.

5. Maybe Obama should endorse your position n/t

2. Nothing new, Alaska is the nation's top welfare state.....

They get more Federal dollars than any other state and they redistribute the wealth from the deserving wealthy to the lazy, shiftless Palin types.

3. Why is it that the federal government doesn't get that money?

Doesn't the oil come from the peoples land?

4. That's an interesting point

Do Texans get oil revenue? Those who reside in Louisiana? California? I could be wrong, but I believe the only state that charges oil companies to drill oil within its boundaries is the state of Alaska. In addition, I believe Alaska has one of the highest, if not the highest, return on tax dollars per capita than any other state. In other monies, more federal tax dollars are steered to Alaska than Alaskans pay to the federal government, and they're one of the highest in that category of any state.

6. Alaska's logic is that the people of Alaska are the true owners of the land

Perfect example of socialism.

7. This land is my land. This land is your land.

Let's make some money.
By OKing drilling.

We make money
And call YOU socialist
Because we're too stupid
To know what that means.
