Is Sarah a Socialist?

If Sen. John McCain is so against "spreading the wealth" then I wonder if during a McCain administration he would get rid of things like the GI Bill, the mortgage interest deduction, and stop giving some states more than their share of federal spending.

Would a McCain administration mean what it says about socialism and no longer allow citizens of states like Alaska to pay only $4.8 billion in taxes while receiving $9.2 billion in federal government spending? Talk about socialism and spreading the wealth! Does the Alaska Governor know about this?

Surely the citizens of Massachusetts (who pay $63 billion in taxes yet only receive $55.8 billion in spending) might appreciate Alaska sending their money back to them. Maybe Gov. Palin could work on stopping that unfortunate socialism before her term ends. One of her first tasks could be to return the $260 odd millions Alaska got for that bridge to nowhere that Palin claims she said "No thanks" to.

Gov. Palin has never shown a real interest in news (she couldn't even name the Exxon Valdez Supreme Court case involving Alaska) so perhaps she has no idea that Alaska is a socialist state. According to the Tax Foundation Alaska taxpayers receive more federal funding per dollar of federal taxes paid compared to the average state. Per dollar of Federal tax collected in 2005, Alaska citizens received approximately $1.84 in the way of federal spending.

In addition Alaska citizens share the wealth from royalties from the oil in the state. Should they really be "sharing the wealth"?

So does Gov. Palin know about all of this? Is Sarah a socialist? Maybe the press should ask her. Right, like that will happen. Elizabeth Hasselbeck says the media is sexist for attacking Gov. Palin. In reality the media is sexist for its lack of real questioning of her and her policies.

Despite a few limited interviews she hasn't been seriously questioned, which explains why she continued to claim that she said "No thanks" to the bridge. While this was pointed out, no one was willing to pull a Letterman and truly question her on it.

So will the media "grow a pair" and actually ask Sarah if she is a socialist? Don't hold your breath.
