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'.


This article states $1M. It sounds like a lot was made from the
fishing business before she became Governor. I'm fine with someone
running a successful business.

I am sure Obama and Biden have financial assets squirreled away, too.

The $17K sounds like a dispute between tax attorneys with differing
interpretation of a tax law. That's not her fault.

Good you marked this OT, since it is.

Notice she also isn't on the list of politicians that got huge
contributions from Freddie Fannie. Obama was way at the top along with
Kerry and Hillary.

Her financials actually seem reasonable, maybe even modest, for a
governor IMO. And she isn't on the top of that contribution recipient
list, like all the others you mentioned. I am so sick of Palin-bashing.
Many public figures and politicians on both sides bother me for various
reasons, but not to the extent that I want to talk about them all the
time, esp off-topic on a ng.

Exactly. The McCain/Palin supporters aren't on here picking apart
Obama/Biden. Why not give the same respect.

Chocolic



ITA. I could bring up lots of things, as recently as the veep debate and
factual mistakes that were made, for instance. I choose not to, and only
mention it now to point out that my silence is not due to lack
information. I wish others would try some self-restraint as well. Plus
there are far cooler things to obsess about, like the best haunted houses
to visit this year!


Oh give me a break. You all yapped and yapped on other OT political threads
all last week. Check out the 'Palin did okay' thread, or the 'No respite
for the wealthy'. Exactly how many *crime* posts did you make in that same
time period? I updated on numerous crimes followed. Get off my ass and
quit trying to censor my posts. If you don't want to see them, put me in
the killfile. I've got GOD and numerous others there myself. If I see
threads I don't want to read or participate in, I ignore them. It's usenet,
and it's America.
