Palin: Helping or Hurting?

Okay, so theres a lot wrong with Sarah Palin. But whose side is she on?

During the VP debate with Joe Biden, Palin lashed out against Bidens past comment that paying higher taxes is patriotic, saying that "“You said recently that higher taxes or asking for higher taxes or paying higher taxes is patriotic. In the middle class of America...that’s not patriotic.”

Yet Palin supported troop surges to Iraq and Afghanistan, and is also in favor of the $7oo billion dollar bailout. Where the hell does she think that money is going to come from?

Look, the bottom line is that a governments money comes from the people. If you want to send soldiers to war you need to pay for daily transportation, munitions, raw material, food, armor, guns, technology, electricity, etc. The money for that all comes from the taxpayers. the bailout plan? Yup, a huge chunk of that is going to be from the taxpayers too Gavernor Palin.

So, what side is she really on? Her actions and beliefs make it seem like, in her mind, people who support the troops, and support their country are patriotic (no shit), but the people who pay to give those soldiers medical supplies and food, and who provide, through taxes, a possible relief to the economic crisis, well those people are unpatriotic.

So, where does Palin really stand? Because at the moment it seems like she is for the American people, yet against the American taxpayers.

And, if she really doesnt believe in taxes, maybe somebody should have the IRS check her out. Because having a VP candidate impeached for tax evasion is a lot less embarassing than actually having a person like Sarah Palin in office.
