No wonder Palin has an 80% approval rating...

...Alaska doesn't levy income taxes or a sales tax.  Another interesting thing, on the Alaska's Tax Division web site they list today's price of a barrel of oil.  Why?  The state gets 85% of it's revenue (pg 5 of 126) from oil that comes out of the ground:
In FY 2008, oil revenues are projected to contribute 89% of the state’s General
Purpose Unrestricted Revenue. Oil revenues will continue to play a key role in
Alaska’s future.
No wonder most Alaska residents support drilling in ANWR - they get more money in their pockets.

And guess what, that makes every gallon of gas you put in your car that much more expensive.  So how is Palin supposed to bring about "change" when she's tied so closely to Big Oil, JUST LIKE THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION?
