Financial Papers Show Palins' Assets Top $1 Million

This is so not newsworthy. $1M isn't that much these days when you add in the value of real estate and businesses. And 401(k)s can grow quite nicely with tax-deferred status and employer contributions. Of course, the value of those retirement and investment accounts won't reflect their current value, which is way down at the moment.


I took the most conservative estimate I found, many said "over 2.3 million", and it is newsworthy, in *my* opinion, when one is trying to bill themselves as 'joe six-pack, sitting around the kitchen table trying to pay their bills.'

I also dispute the fact that taxes weren't paid on the per diem of $17,000 and pawning ones expensive *hobby* of snow-machine racing as a *job*.

Again, you'll note by far the majority of posts I've made this week have been 'on topic'. And I did note this one as 'off topic'.


I see politics is bringing out the petty minded mean
spiritedness I've come to expect from Obama supporters.

To be fair, Kris, who IIRC is an Obama supporter, seems to be trying to avoid arguing politics here like some of the rest of us. I respect her and everyone trying to stay above it. I was tempted to ignore this message for that reason, but obviously I didn't.
