This year in Alaska every man, woman, and child received a check for $3,269 from the state of Alaska. Governor Sarah Palin levied a high tax on the oil companies doing business there and distributed the money to every single one of the state's residents.

This is what she said: "We can afford to share resource wealth with Alaskans and to temporarily suspend the state fuel tax." She also said, "And Alaska we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."

Now she's going out warning people about the dangers of "Spreading the Wealth" and the Communist threat of "Collective Ownership," a concept that is completely foreign to Barack Obama's economic plan.

It's easy to get a high approval rating when you give every man, woman, and child $3,269.

But demonizing your opponent for doing the very same thing, when you're opponent is not even suggesting it, is called hypocrisy and outright fraud.
