this asscrack comes up with a figure that says an alaskan citizen gets 1.84 fro every 1.00 they put into the treasury.

does this moron think that tht money goes to that citizen?

example. the highest states are viginia and maryland. do you think the citizens of those stated get 2.00 for every 1.00?

i don't think so. virginia has the biggest military complex in the world which is why loads of money is spent there. maryland is chock full of government offices.

alaska has about a billion square miles of national parks, national forests, salmon fisheries, etc.

the citizens of those states do not get direct payments from the feds so using that stupid premise to portray palin as a hypocrite and socialist shows what a panicked little bitch this twat is.

she made fun of wimps like this puny noah prick and his is pissed about it.

Timothy Noah specifically writes that the STATE gets $1.84 back for every $1 it sends in taxes.

You are the asscrack, moron, little bitch, twat, wimp, puny prick dickhead if you don't realize how that money generates income for people living in Alaska (e.g. park rangers in that billion square miles of national parks) and how that income is then spent buying stuff in the state which also creates jobs.

My guess is that you are one of those Republicans who likes to talk a good game about smaller government, take care of yourself, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, but get pissed off when its shown that you actually couldn't wipe your own ass without government help.

I think you have in fact proven yourself the moron here. Noah did not say that Alaska citizens get that money; he simply points out that the state gets it, and compared to the populations of other states, Alaska gets a huge amount of money. It is, quite simply, the biggest welfare state in the union.

'Alaska gets a huge amount of money. It is, quite simply, the biggest welfare state in the union.'

at least they work for it unlike the welfare queens in obama's area.

the state with the highest percentage of people on public assistance is rhode island.

Wasn't irving change *supposed* to be one of the Hillary Harridans?

Obviously, this is the internet, and you could be a 16-year-old boy for all I know... but the question remains:

What's with the "feminists" using the most vile misogynistic language to slander men? This isn't the first venue I've noticed it in...

the fact is that federal dollars are dispersed to states based on a formula that icludes area and population as variables. if you dumbasses don't like that or think it is unfair, may i suggest you write your congresspersons who everyone hates and have popularity figures about 70% below sarah's. .

What we think of it doesn't matter. What matters is that Sarah Palin is not being honest about her record. She's clearly a socialist; why not just be up front about it? Then again, most of the Republican party has lurched leftward. The Bush administration is a great example.

noah enjoys being ignorant. i can tell.

Why do republicans have to disagree so disagreeably? I agree to some extent to your point but the fact remains that Alaskan citizens pay no taxes, get a rebate in excess of $1,000 a head and they are looking for the rest of us to help them build a $30 billion dollar pipeline, a $30 billion bridge etc. Ted Stevens did bring home the bacon and Ms. Palin seems to have learned the ropes. Virginia does have lots of government facilities but if you drive there you will find the finest, smoothest, newest highways in the nation. My state is dead-last in Federal largess (retribution for voting democrat?), they closed our military bases, and we pay a toll on almost every major roadway we drive on. I recall a few years back that Newt Gigrich was railing against the "welfare" state of NY and after someone pointed out that his district received a buck forty for each dollar they kicked in while NYC got $.70, he issued a hasty apology. Welfare takes many forms. I'm sure you'll insult me as well you brave republican poster but the fact remains that Sarah Palin is a hypocrite.

because the contemptible deserve contempt.

even that asscarck noah isn't saying this. they pay taxes dumbass. his contention is that they get 1.84 per 1.00 they put into the treasury and that proves palin is a corrupt hypocrite socialist.

'Ted Stevens did bring home the bacon and Ms. Palin seems to have learned the ropes. Virginia does have lots of government facilities but if you drive there you will find the finest, smoothest, newest highways in the nation.'

like i say. if you don't like the formula the feds use to disperse federal highway funds, don't tell sarah until she is elected.

'My state is dead-last in Federal largess (retribution for voting democrat?), they closed our military bases, and we pay a toll on almost every major roadway we drive on.'

and which state is that praytell?

'I recall a few years back that Newt Gigrich was railing against the "welfare" state of NY and after someone pointed out that his district received a buck forty for each dollar they kicked in while NYC got $.70, he issued a hasty apology.'

listen up dumbass. the people in NYC are stacked upon each other like sardines and the formula uses population AND area as variables. if yopu don;t like that, go cry to nancy pelosi.

'Welfare takes many forms. I'm sure you'll insult me as well you brave republican poster but the fact remains that Sarah Palin is a hypocrite.'

and you are full of shit.

irvingchang,

I'd say you are about as retarded as Sarah Palins baby, but I don't want to be crass.

irvingchang,

You are really not worth the time but I enjoy the insults, it just shows how easy it is to get under your skin. You continue to repeat that Alaskans get more than they pay for; it doesn't matter that it's federal law, more money comes into the state, from the rest of us, than goes out, and she took steps to improve on that imbalance, despite her professed hatred of the federal government. So we agree: Palin is a hypocrite.

'Palin actually reduced the state government's requests for special projects this year to 31 earmarks totaling $198 million, about $295 person, in the wake of President Bush's demand for a cutback in earmarks.

The state government's earmark requests to Congress in her first year in office exceeded $550 million, more than $800 per resident. But there's only so much Palin could do with state bureaucrats used to a free-flowing spigot of federal dollars from Washington.'
