This is your own personal link to once again show how easy it is to setup Republicans to challenge you and then post links showing how limited they are in research and knowledge on the critical issues facing our nation.

KTUU.com | Alaska's news and information source | 25 percent tax rate gains traction
UNEAU, Alaska -- There appears to be another momentum shift at the capitol on how much to tax oil production.

A new interactive computer model is driving the push for a higher rate.

At the beginning of this week, it was doubtful whether the legislature would increase the current net profits tax of 22.5 percent.

I'm not going to argue with you. I simply pointed out your falsehood with your initial post. Now who is on the defensive?

I pointed out that your falsehood was just that for all to see and did it with a


Ya know I am still your friend but when challenged I put on the lipstick and come out Palin. Now with the link my original calling it a windfall profit tax is corroborated and your post debunked, unless you have a link saying Alaska has no such tax. I have many using that language. Heres one thats even better that I was holding onto for another purpose.

Palin and Obama Have Pushed Similar Plans to Raise Oil Taxes - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/cq/20080904/pl_cq_politics/politics2943975 - broken link)
As oil prices rose, two prominent politicians proposed strikingly similar initiatives to raise taxes on the oil industry and send money to struggling consumers. Now, both are running for national office -- on opposite tickets.

As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin pushed a proposal through the state legislature that mirrors what Barack Obama is proposing on a national scale.
