She's With Bubba

Till death do they part. Beyond the Palin. Weekend at Bertie's. Plus more.

As a long-time Alaska conservative I can say that Governor Palin is a good match for Senator McCain. They both claim to be conservatives but are not. Palin has led the charge to raise taxes on oil producers to be the highest in the world, a 75% marginal tax rate. The effective rate is even higher because deductions for facilities maintenance and repair have been removed. All this, so Alaskans get their "fair share" while at the same time creating a "stable economic environment" for business.

Gov. Palin has consistently snubbed the oil producers even though they provide the revenue that runs state government and allow residents to pay minimal taxes. Her gas pipeline legislation, AGIA, bypasses producers and the issues of establishing fiscal certainties in taxation.
