By the way...here's an example of what federal tax money did to my home:



Your federal tax dollars paid for this. Your federal tax dollars paid to kill my island.

Next time y'all want to blare about how Alaska doesn't "pay its way"...we've paid our way in spades.

With someone special like Palin it is different, she can find a job within a second if she wants one, but then again she doesn't need one when you write 2 books and both of them set records for sales.

If you do not see my point then you are not with it. People move around all the time, this is what the liberals are pushing all the time, to be able to move from a job to better job and take your insurance/health care with you. So they are now lying about that?

Face it, the liberals are scared to death of Palin.

And Obama QUIT HIS JOB AS SENATOR to take a temporary job in Washington. He gave up on his Illinois voters.
Howest2008.....Obama quit his JOB naw...he was just promoted
to the most powerful JOB IN THE WORLD that's all....

Wow is Sanrene your sister? Is there anyone that actually thinks the president controls the price of gold.... Do you hold shares in the Brooklyn Bridge too?

Nothing to hide? she fled office so she wouldn't be prosecuted out of it. I would say she should stick to parenting, but she wasnt even good at that.

The average Alaskan sees no benefit whatsoever from the tourism industry. Actually, the tourist industry has pretty much wrecked the economy of the port cities.

Once again, Anchorage is basically a pit stop for most Alaskan tourists/travelers. They may spend one night there and then continue on. I really can't hold their room tax against them though, since it's common practice in much of the U.S.

Once again, most of the tourism related jobs (during the summer) are held by non residents.

The cruise ships provide the bulk of the tourists to Alaska. These people, by nature, are not travelers. And most of the money they spend goes directly to outside interests.
Interesting spin.

I've know people who owned lodges. They made most of their money off tourists. I've know people in Anchorage who owned restaurants. They along with their wait staff made a great deal of money off tourists. I've know guides. They made most of their money off tourists. I've known pilots. Many made a good deal of their money off tourists. I've know craftsmen. The made a lot of money selling to tourists. All of them lived in Alaska, most of them year 'round.

We all know those people too. Nonetheless, the bulk of the tourism industry is generated by the cruise ship industry.

LOL--don't think I can give you any more rep just now but about the bridge...she was all for it until the media spun it into something evil. She should be forced to fly in and out of Ketchikan every three days for her 180 on that....meanwhile, they did build the road to nowhere for a couple of million but it just sits there doing nothing.

And a lot of people in Alaska live on the dollars the tourist industry generates.
