Whooops! Yep, Sarah P.alin is an actual Socialist.we’ve set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.
I think that most people know - not only does Alaska not have state income or sales tax, but that every Alaskan gets a check from the government each year (The Alaska Permanent Fund). So,
"collective" ownership of the state industry and dole checks for everybody!
vs.
increasing the marginal tax rate on personal income over $250,000 per year from 36% to 39.4%
Which one of those fits the definition of Socialism?
