Sarah Palin Gives Alaskans Oil Money to Help Fight Socialism

The McCain-Palin-Wurzelbacher ticket has been hammering away at their claim that Barack Obama's tax plans amount to "spreading the wealth," which is about as un-American as you can get without actually being in Red Square.

Perhaps Comrade Obama could take a lesson from Governor Sarah Palin, who understands that the government should never, ever raise taxes or spread the wealth.

It should just sit back and let the free market do its thing and, um, dispense the lucre…

In Alaska, where Palin is governor, natural resources are state-owned, and Alaska residents receive yearly dividend checks from a $30 billion state account built largely from oil royalties….

When home fuel and gas costs soared this year, Palin raised taxes on oil companies and used some of the money to boost residents' checks by $1,200. Every eligible man, woman and child got a record $3,269 this fall.

Even the grammar-challenged Governor knows there's word for that kind of redistributive policy.

Starts with S.

Four syllables.

That's right: super-duper!
