Palin's Alaska...A Welfare State:

    Alaska gets $1.84 in federal spending for every dollar it pays in federal taxes.
    We in New York get just 79 cents on the dollar.

    Which means we subsidize Alaska even as it enjoys a $2 billion-plus budget surplus.
    Even as New York faces a huge deficit that will require ever more painful cuts.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

A list of states by Gross State Product:
(2008 GSP $Millions)

1      California      1,846,757      
2      Texas          1,223,511      
3      New York      1,144,481
Keep going down the list until you get to the state ranked #44
44      Alaska             47,912

Alaska is a Welfare state subsidized by the rest of the USA.  With OUR tax dollars, Alaska has a budget surplus, while NY & California have a deficit.

...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
