Alaska - lowest in the tax area, eh?

Hmmmm, trying to remember who was the “incompetent, inexperienced, and ill-educated” governor of that state.

Darn, just cannot get that name on my tongue......

Oh the other hand, I can name an incompetent, inexperienced, and very ill-educated president who is beneath contempt....

“Different states tax their residences at different levels.”


Sorry I couldn’t get back this sentence. Either Da Coyote mispasted, or someone’s editor is on a binge.

“Alaskans have the lowest tax burden of any state in the country, paying just 6.3%...

According to the Tax Foundation, “Before the Trans-Alaska pipeline was finished in 1977, taxpayers in Alaska bore the second-highest tax burden in the country. By 1980, with oil tax revenue pouring in, Alaska repealed its personal income tax and started sending out checks instead. The tax burden plummeted, and now Alaskans are the least taxed.” The state also levies no personal income tax or sales tax.”

From the article:

According to the Tax Foundation, "Before the Trans-Alaska pipeline was finished in 1977, taxpayers in Alaska bore the second-highest tax burden in the country. By 1980, with oil tax revenue pouring in, Alaska repealed its personal income tax and started sending out checks instead. The tax burden plummeted, and now Alaskans are the least taxed."

I don't believe Gov. Palin would try to take credit for that.

Do You mean Wally Hinkle? I can't think of any other Alaskan Governor, I mean, they all basically fade away without making any contributions to the National Political spectrum, Nope can't think of a single one.....

As for an incomptnat president, I think James Polk has had an unfair treatment by history.Oh, Wait, there is another.
