Wes Cannon: The State of Alaska sold the lease rights to the oil and gas. And that’s a good thing… can you imagine how screwed up everything would be if the SoA (State of Alaska) was responsible for pumping the resource? HA!

I have a problem with Palin’s 400% tax increase on the oil industry because companies don’t pay taxes – their customers do. The industry passes that expense on to you and me, pal. Buy a clue already!

Alaska is one of the highest taxing oil and gas provinces on the globe. We have taxed ourselves out of the market.

Taxes deter investment. Lack of investment means less jobs. It’s already happening, Wes. Contractors are laying off employees left and right.

Why am I not surprised that you’re a City of Homer employee? Livin’ off the dole.

self employed – on the road system – and politically more conservative than most republicans – and although I try hard to like democrats – their world view is generally way too touchy-feely for me – and they really aren’t all the nice when it gets down to it. I concede that Palin splits R’s into different camps.

I don’t live in Homer, period. I live off the road system.

You’re a Democrat too, right? I mean Democrats in Alaska love tax & spend Sarah! I’m a Republican business owner. And like most R business owners, we don’t support Palin.

Congrats on getting your GED.

I noticed you post a lot of comments. Are you employed?

Chris K – clearly you haven’t lived in Homer long if you don’t know who Bob Ward is -big time democrat -duh – and that he doesn’t like Palin because he considers her an ultra-conservative. And as for your question :do i read much? – I did just get my GED diploma this last year so I am well on the road to literacy and being an educated person.

franan: Do you read much???

Bob Ward didn’t write that Palin was fiscally “ultra conservative.” He wrote that she “is NOT a moderate.” Do you understand what that means? Palin isn’t a fiscal moderate. She is fiscally liberal! Why do you think democrats like her so much in 2007? She increased taxes and grew the operating budget like no one before her!

What’s wrong with Palin is that she’s a fraud. Fake, fake, fake, fake.

Since Alaska owns the oil and the main source of state income is oil revenue, why would anyone have a problem taxing an oil company? The oil companies would glady take it for free. Many countries tax oil companies at much higher rates and find no lack of development because of higher taxes. This has been discussed ad naseum on a state level and is OLD NEWS. I happen to agree that Mrs Palin should not have resigned as gov. The reason or reasons she did so are still speculation and I certainly do not pretend to know her reasons. If she was a fraud as mayor of Wasilla, I suspect her opposition would have mentioned that when she ran for governor.

you gotta laugh now -chris K claims to be on the same page about Palin as Bob Ward who had the first comment here – only problem is Ward thinks Palin is an ultra conservative and Chris thinks Palin is a liberal. I’m guessing Palin is getting the biggest laugh. There’s nothing wrong with Palin except she is a better life and government philosopher than she is a politician – and this day in age – that’s not altogether a bad thing.

Did anyone notice that Wes Cannon didn’t list any of quitter ex-governor Sarah Palin’s “achievements”?

That’s because unless you consider increasing taxes on the oil industry 400% and collecting per diem to sleep in her own home, there aren’t any.

The only thing that scares me about Sarah Palin is her ignorance and her liberal policies.

Get informed people. We deserve the politicians we elect. This is serious business.
