[/quote] sara had nothing to do with it. it has been going on way before her. its a wonder she didn't stop it since its socialistic. seems socialism is ok as long as the tea party nutcases do it. [/quote] She most surely did have everything to do with it.. socialism? that's like calling a tax refund socialism. you may believe it is... you don't even know what socialism really is. i'm not in the tea party by the way.. but i do support their agenda. [/quote] Palin? NO. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund : established by Alaska in 1976, primarily by the efforts of then Governor Jay Hammond. [/quote] May have been established in 1976 but the people just recently start getting the checks. [/quote]
Original Message
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Most Alaska residents will soon be getting a check for $1,174 simply because they live there.
Each person's share of the state's vast oil wealth was announced with much fanfare in Anchorage Tuesday, with Gov. Sean Parnell ripping open a gold-colored envelope to reveal the number. This day is so widely anticipated in Alaska that the announcement of the Permanent Fund Dividend amount was carried live on television statewide, and dozens tuned in to watch a live webcast by the governor's office.
