But as IWS tried to inform you, she "DOES NOT" have access to that money. There are laws on how that money can be spent and it is strictly enforced. It cannot be used for her legal bills...
There may be book deals and such, sure and that is another reason people are trying to go after her........how often do you see homeless or poor people persecuted like this?

You mean all those socialists in Texas who bask in the socialism of low/no state income tax because of the taxes on oil companies.
Hypocrite, socialist.

Without going any farther you are assuming that just because I live in Texas I agree with everything the Texas legislature does. I guess because you live in the USA you support everything Obama does. Sarah Palin is GW Bush in a skirt, an individual with no principles on economic issues. The only Texas politician I support is Ron Paul. You can keep supporting socialism at a slower rate.

Do something about it. Hypocrite/socialist. Voluntarily give taxes to the state at the rate another state does, that doesn't steal from the oil companies like the communist that you are.
Put your money where your mouth is, big mouth.

If you benefit from a socialist agenda, whether it be a rebate or not being taxed because the government engages in a socialist action, that makes you culpable in socialism.
You've benefited for decades for a socialist program in Texas, that you say is a detriment in Alaska, makes you a hypocrite.
You're a socialist/hypocrite.

I don't support 80% of what the state of Texas does with that money. The 20% I support can easily be supported by the sales tax I pay on I buy. I do not benefit from the social welfare programs that our state spends a good deal of their budget on. In fact, I suffer for it. The programs encourage sloth which results in higher crime rates. Now, if I was a cop, it might increase my job security.

So you want to justify being the same socialist that you complain about. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, comrade.
Keep benefiting from that socialist oil company money and tell yourself you're a big bad libertarian, hypocrite.

Hey, so you want to find a way to justify your hypocrisy for what you say about Alaskans and Palin.
Nobody wants to be called out for what they claim someone else is.
A socialist by any other name is, a socialist.
I'm sure Alaskans pay similar taxes but you find them to be socialists.
****, most states have those taxes on top of state income tax.
The fact is, the only reason you don't pay state income tax is because the government takes money from the oil industry to benefit you.
You're a socialist/hypocrite.

The alcohol tax equates to $25 a Texan, the oil production tax $50. I drink more than twice as much as the average Texan, I do not benefit from the welfare programs Texas spends a good part of their revenue on. The 25% sales tax is more than enough to pay for the legitimate uses of government.
