Jim, I don't make more than $250,000 per year, so Obama won't raise my taxes. He's only taking back the tax cuts Bush gave his wealthy friends.

Since you are worried about your taxes, you must make more than that - and if so, I wonder why such a wealthy person would waste their time on a bulletin board such as this, instead of sailing around on their yacht.

As for Palin's experience, there was a very good article in the Sunday Pittsburgh Post Gazette, from a writer that lived in Alaska for the last 20 years... very insightful and worth reading.
