JUNEAU -- Gov. Sarah Palin surprised state legislators Wednesday by indicating she is willing to negotiate how much the state taxes natural gas in order to attract oil companies to a pipeline project.

"We are open to changes in the state's fiscal structure to allow this project to happen. ... We are open to whatever it takes to make sure that this project happens for our state and for our country," Palin told reporters.

Government isn’t supposed to lower taxes when so many depend on the services they provide. She must have government confused with running a business where concepts like ‘effeciency’ and ‘profitability’ are guiding principles. ;^)

Every time I think of the way the press and main stream media talking talking heads trashed Palin so we can now have a nit wit empty suit as president I get so angry. Obama couldn't read a balance sheet if it were on his tele promter!

Beauty,brains,courage & common sense....as familiar to liberal leftists as God,guns & guts. As Ann Coulter once said, “To liberals,winning is everything.” They don’t care how or why,just so they WIN.

They made it pretty obvious 'whose side' they were on. Northeast establishment liberals have dominated much too long. After seeing where the last ten-or-so presidents attended college, I vowed never to vote for one again.

The only hope for this country is to send 'outsiders' to Washington with sledgehammers. That place is in dire need of remodeling.

Keep in mind, this after her administration already raised the taxes, and made that change retroactive.

Congress levies taxes, not the administration (which signs it.)
