Industry testifies on plan to cut Alaska oil taxes (Palin Smackdown)

Oil industry leaders delivered a stinging rebuke of the production tax that became a hallmark of Gov. Sarah Palin's administration, telling a legislative committee Wednesday that it has discouraged investment and made Alaska a less attractive place to do business.

Representatives of BP Alaska, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Pioneer Natural Resources said the tax cut and expanded tax credits proposed by Palin's successor, Gov. Sean Parnell, is a positive step toward encouraging greater activity and boosting oil production.

Well, pretty soon she’ll be competing with Mitt for the biggest fabulist.

Do what, the Constitution has not one word in it about the Alaska purchase. And it damn sure does not have a special exception clause for equal treatment under the law.

If you own something, you get to decide when to sell it and for how much. The people of Alaska own their natural resources, per their Constitution. If they want to charge more to the oil companies, that’s their right. Due to political cronyism the price paid for Alaskan oil had been low for years and ACES adjusted it. Now that Palin is gone, the oil companies want to play games with the Republican politicians again. If the oil companies think the price is too high, they can go elsewhere. That’s their right.

DeMint endorsed Romney in 08. We all screw up from time to time.

Was it legitimately admitted to the Union as a state or not?

Go back to playing with crayons. When you can keep the color inside the lines then you can play with the big kids. LOL

You are guessing what she’d do in the future versus chapter and verse I give you on her history, and you say I’m twisting? ROFL.

Gwen Ifill: But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?

Precious: I do I do!

What a retard

What a retard

So you think Palin has a plan to shut down the oil industry like OBummer is doing?

And you call me a retard, LOL!
We've gotten used to your pathetic attempts to twist and smear Palin's views, but this one is pathetic on steroids. She is the most vocal, pro oil industry and energy independence candidate out there.

[pissant]

What’s twisted about “I do I do” support carbon caps. And what’s twisted about me citing her plans to get Alaska in a cap and trade market? Are you one of those tree hugging idiots that think cap and trade is anything short of suicide?

Give it up on the oil industry crap about Palin. You're way out of your *little* league.

Time for you to grab your little Duncan Hunter doll and head off to beddy-bye.......Sweet misogynist dreams.

You’re going to give someone nightmares tonight with those pictures, LOL!

They'd rather tear their eyeballs out and set themselves on fire than print that issue of the magazine. Of course, by then I may own Time if I can find enough spare change under my seat cushions...
