" Watcher -- tell me, what part of the charts at the Tax Foundation website are you not able to comprehend?

Is it the numbers or the letters? "

" C'mon everybody! Let's all move to California! Don't believe what you read; teresa says they're wealthy and are actually helping out the rest of the U.S.! Gosh, thank God we have somebody like teresa in here to keep us from falling into the trap of believing those annoying 'facts'! And here us dumb Alaskans were lead to believe that just because California is in the national news EVERY DAY for being flat broke and deep in the red, it isn't (somehow) 'saving' those states that have a surplus! HA HA HA! "

" I went to the Tax Foundation website and I am really stunned that people do not understand that when a state like California pays more in federal taxes than it gets in federal spending, it is contributing to the states that gets more in federal funding than they pay in taxes (like Alaska, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc)

.78 < 1.00 < 2.02

I don't understand why people claim they can't understand that. "

" Palmer Farm, you gripe about other people not staying on the subject, and you want to change the topic from California's public debt (which is below the national per capita average) to the cost of repairing infrastructure.

Guess what? Every state in the Union that is a tax donor has crumbling infrastructure. A completely different topic from public debt.

Stil afraid to go to the Tax Foundation website? Why? Are you afraid Sarah Palin is going to accuse you of "palling around with people who understand mathematics"? That might be a capital crime to Republicans. "




teresa wrote on Jul 12, 2009 2:39 PM:

" Palmer Farm - I am sticking to the subject. I have repeatedly urged you all to go to the Tax Foundation and get the facts for yourself.

Find out that the money showered on Wasilla by the feds didn't just come out of the sky.

But YOU all keep changing the subject because you're too frightened to get the facts. You're afraid they might run you out of the conversative movement with pitchforks if you make a truthful statement. "




teresa wrote on Jul 12, 2009 2:37 PM:

" Palmer Farm - at least you know the difference between a trillion and a billion. Congratulations! That must make you in the top percentile for Wasilla.

Now, can you possibly understand the information at the Tax Foundation website?

I don't think you can. You don't show any signs of it so far. But why not give it a try?

Why are you so afraid to go to the link and get the facts? Are you THAT afraid of learning something? "

" Oh dear...teresa just can't let it go. And I notice that she's still dodging everyone's question;

How is it that California is such a wonderful, giving state while being beyond broke? Hmm...guess it's kind of obvious why all she does is change the subject, eh?

Oh, and one more thing...California is currently over $80 billion in debt. But as recently as yesterday the estimated cost of recovering and restoring it's infrastructure to pre-recession levels would be in the TRILLIONS. Yes, teresa...TRILLIONS.

Now, about this nonsense about California being the nation's Robin Hood? "




teresa wrote on Jul 11, 2009 5:58 PM:

" Power Wagon, you wrote that California is "trillions of dollars in debt".

Do you have any idea how silly and ignorant your wild, extravagant claims make you?

Or do you just not understand the difference between a billion and a trillion? (HINT: One of them is a thousand times bigger than the other).

Amazes me that you don't the difference between a billion and a trillion....and think you're in a position to call other people names!

Arrogant in ignorance. The true hallmark of a Palin supporter. "

" Power Wagon - I have posted the address for Tax Foundation website numerous times. I'm sorry you aren't capable of parsing the text and numbers on the website for yourself, But it is not my responsibility to make up for Wasilla's poor literacy and numeracy training.

But I do appreciate your honesty in admitting--finally--that you are completely clueless about the tax donor/tax moocher issue. "




Power Wagon wrote on Jul 11, 2009 1:01 PM:

" So, teresa, tell me...how does a state that is beyond just 'broke', a state in national news as being in a state of emergency for being trillions of dollars in debt, can't pay it's bills and has to cut services;...how does California 'donate' money it doesn't have? We would all LOVE to hear you explain how donating something you don't have works. Enlighten us 'dumb Alaskans' how that works. LOL! "




teresa wrote on Jul 11, 2009 5:53 AM:

" Palmer Farm - they were properous enough to donate to the tens of millions of federal dollars that went to Wasilla.

But I can see how a person like you -- who comes from the state with the lowest high school graduation rate -- would not be able to understand the data from the Tax Foundation website.

So yes, keep laughing about how wrong you think FACTS are. "

" Watcher -- Everyone can go to the Tax Foundation link and see the data for themselves. You fool no one.

They can also scroll down the page and see how you and Power Wagon were consistently WRONG about it, and how arrogant you were in your ignorance.

No surprise you're big supporters of Sarah Palin. Like her, you're really proud of being wrong, and think that people who are right have victimiized you with their rightness.

Keep playing your "knowing stuff is bad, bad, bad" card, while those of us who know better laugh at you. "

" Go home teresa. You're just getting sillier by the minute. It was funny for awhile, but now it's just sad. "I meant to do that!" pretty much sums up all you're stating now. If it makes you feel better, we'll all pretend that bankrupt California is bailing out other states while, at the same time, giving out 'IOU's instead of paying it's bills, cancelling social programs, releasing prisoners, laying off workers, and closing parks. And we'll pretend Alaska is on it's knees despite having one of the nation's largest surpluses. There, now shoo before your mommy comes looking. "

" >Funny thing is...you didn't know that either. You had to hurry and look it up and then pretend you're some kind of genius.

I knew it. But I knew if I didn't provide the data up front, you and watcher would come back with something like "HAHA NO IT ISN'T".

You did the same thing when I CORRECTLY stated that California is a tax donor state. You and Watcher INSISTED it wasn't until--and even AFTER--I linked to the actual data.

I was making an accomodation for your prejudice against learning anything. "




Palmer Farm wrote on Jul 6, 2009 7:41 PM:

" Wow teresa...you stun us all with your amazing intellect. Yes, unlike watcher I knew that Alaska is no longer the least populated state. We passed other states up recently. Now we're larger by what? A single-digit percentage? Wow. Funny thing is...you didn't know that either. You had to hurry and look it up and then pretend you're some kind of genius. Try again, toots.
Oh, and I see you changed the subject from the state of Alaska to City of Wasilla now. Guess you had nothing left. (Yes, I caught that. It was a pathetic attempt.) "

" Watcher - are you not allowed to study in geography in your schools? Alaska is NOT the state with the "smallest population", as you claim. It's not even in the top three.

How sad not to know even basic facts about the state you live in.

" watcher, you come from the state with the lowest high school graduation rates, the highest teen pregnancy rates, and the highest rape and child molestation rates.

And this despite all the money the feds invested in you. You have nothing to be proud of.

Incidentally, how much of that 20+ million in pork that Wasilla got thanks to Palin' lobbyists was spent on projects on "federal land"?

That excuse won't wash.

Nor does it explain why Wasilla couldn't balance its books and is deep in debt DESPITE all the pork your lobbyists got. "




watcher wrote on Jul 6, 2009 9:28 AM:

" ..don't let people like teresa who are unable to grasp simple math fool you. Smallest population but largest amout of federal land = higher fed spending vs people percentage (lost you there, didn't I teresa?) Oh, and I like the 'lie & cheat' part. I guess we all can't be as above-board as the Clintons ("Bosnia snipers, stolen FBI files, pardoning coke-dealing buddies, lying under oath..just to name a few), the Kennedys (murder), Pelosi (minimum wage exemptions to boost personal income and get extra campaign $) and on and on....ha!

Once again, above is the link to the Tax Foundation website where anyone with a third grade education can see which states pay more in federal taxes than they get back in spending, and which ones don't.

Don't let innumerate (or possibly dishonest) people like Watcher and Power Wagon deceive you. Go to the site and get the facts. "




teresa wrote on Jul 5, 2009 10:07 PM:

" Watcher, you really can't read the link at the Tax Foundation website and see that my facts are correct? Wow

Or are you one of those conservatives who thinks that "ethics" means "lie and cheat."

Power Wagon - look into the source of California's deficit. It's from a tax cut that was supposed to expire, that Arnold wouldn't allow it.

But yes, if they were getting back as much per tax dollar put in as the red states are, like Mississippi, they wouldn't be in the hole.

Does your ideology forbid math? "

" Oh good lord teresa, yes, right, that's it...California is where it's at because of their governor! (psst..hey, teresa....Gov Schwarzeneggar has been wrestling with the California Senate for years to curb thier spending on social programs! Oops! It pays to read, doesn't it!) Not because of thier tax-and-spend politics. Nope. It's all because of thier governor and money they've been (snicker) 'sending to other states'! Do you make this stuff up as you go, teresa, or are you listening to somebody else as uneducated and silly as yourself? Just wondering... "




teresa wrote on Jul 5, 2009 10:28 AM:

" Power Wagon, you FALSELY claimed that California was not a tax donor state and that Alaska was not a tax moocher state.

I realize conservatives like to misrepresent things, but your claims were outright FALSE.

Now, certainly, you can come up with all kinds of excuses for why Wasilla "needed" 22 million dollars in federal funds, and why Californians don't "deserve" equitable largesse (but Mississippi does).

California wouldn't be in bad shape if not for: A. the Republican governor and B. the money it donates to red moocher states. "




Power Wagon wrote on Jul 4, 2009 10:34 PM:

" teresa;
Were you really NOT aware that the federal government owns more land in Alaska than Alaska does? Were you really NOT aware that we have the least population and, therefore, the tax dollars vs. population is OF COURSE going to be skewed? (I know, there's that tricky math again!) Were you really NOT aware that every state uses it's natural resources (but I guess Alaska should be 'different' eh?) Were you really NOT aware that your example, California, is IN THE TANK right now due it's history of liberal spending and taxing? You weren't? Kinda sums you up! "




teresa wrote on Jul 4, 2009 10:53 AM:

" Power Wagon, were you really NOT aware that red states like Alaska, Mississippi and Louisiana get more in federal spending than they pay in taxes? Were you really NOT aware that blue states like Massachussets pay more in federal taxes than they get in federal spending?

And yes, California is a tax donor state. They get back only 78 cents in federal spending for every 1.00 they pay in federal taxes.

Power Wagon, it's no crime for you to be ignorant, but maybe you could try to learn something from those who aren't. "




teresa wrote on Jul 4, 2009 10:49 AM:

" Power Wagon - yes, we all know that your surplus is because:

1. You practice communal ownership of the state's natural resoures

and

2. The federal government showers money on you.

Check out this site: .taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/266.html

Alaskans get back 1.84 in federal spending for every 1.00 they pay in federal taxes. Almost double. You're the #3 tax moocher state, following only New Mexico and Mississippi. "

" teresa, if things slow down in the next few days for you, maybe look into getting an education...
'Alaska is a moocher state' blather, spit, yammer yammer....you just demonstrated to all in here how uninformed and idiotic you are.
Alaska enjoys the largest surplus of any other state and a moron like you thinks it's because why? Oh, and I LOVE the especially dumb line about BLUE states being top donor states? Really? You mean like California? HA HA HA!!
Go on....say some more!! "

But thanks for playing. I'm not surprised you believe ridiculous things like the president, and not the oil companies, made the decision to park rigs. I don't think you could support Palin the way you do if you were actually informed about current events. "




teresa wrote on Jul 3, 2009 7:25 PM:

" Ann, are you really so ignorant you don't know that Alaska is one of the top "tax moocher" states? And that the blue states are the top "tax donor states"?

Did you think all those tens of millions of dollars being lavished on Wasilla just fell from the sky?

No wonder you think Palin did a heck of a job. You don't know the first thing about the world around you.

Power Wagon - if you believe half the nonsense you spout, you're dumber than Ann. "

The question is how do we manage a large population as opposed to a small population? One example: a few people can dump their waste into a river and the river will still be usable for drinking water,etc. If many people pollute the river, it becomes unusable for most purposes. To see that people don't pollute the river requires government management with laws, regulations, etc.
We, as a nation, have to figure out how to deal with the negative effects of our increasing population. Want development? Then deal with the consequences! "

Palin didn't bring in the surplus so don't give her credit, she was able last year to set aside funds she didn't generate it. Oh wait, she has her OUTSIDE donors to cover her expenses. The Pac is paying Palin to represent our state outside of Alaska, so when does Alaska benefit? Never it's a national love affair for Palin's agenda. Alaska has a Welfare Government "

" Power wagon, articles I read in various papers and the Economist are saying that Alaska's budget is up the junction if oil doesn't hit $80 a bbl.
There are also articles of city budget shortfalls

So which is it? Myself, I'll believe the Economist over Palin's press flacks but let me know.

I notice you mention California? Why don't we let California keep its oil revenue in the same way Alaskans live off that unearned revenue? "

" Stimulus funds? The strings are called ACCOUNTABILITY, that's the problem Palin has, or I should say lacks. Her problem is she accounts to no one. Alaska has become a WELFARE GOVERNMENT funded by Pac's and webathons to promote our governor, her daily work decisions COULD be influenced by outside donations!!! Think about what personal gain Palin receives knowing she can do as she pleases with these donations. She doesn't use them here in Alaska, so who benefits?. Palin should be impeached! "

Oh Toni, I'm afraid that Sister Sarah doesn't go over big in the Northeast. The reality based community is much too strong here.

Already we are seeing stories that she won't be running in 2010. I wonder if any of the bailout money is going to her legal fees.
Her 15 minutes are up. Like we say in Red Sox country, she ain't got a fast ball. "

" Strange, "haters" are the people who have experienced her rule, and the "appreciative" ones are all out-of-staters. Especially from the south. Again, it's just strange... not suspect.

Uh oh, hope no one files an ethics complaint against me. Funny how her taking an ethics complainst against Reudrich was fine and dandy, until some people took her to task on the same law. "

" Wrong. Again. Alaska currently enjoys one of the largest budget SURPLUSES while the rest of the nation is broke. And despite this, Sarah wants to CUT state spending.
I get such a kick out of the 'Sarah is stupid' liberals. Yeah, let's compare tax-and-spend California to save-and-cut Alaska.
I guess it's easier to parrot what Keith Olbermann says than to do your own homework. Obviously. "

There is nothing to this comment can't believe its on this web page but palin has to keep her name in the paper. This Toni must be on the gov's payroll. "
