Instead of giving companies millions or billions in taxpayer dollars in an attempt to create jobs or giving preferential treatment to favored companies or campaign donors, Governor Palin sought to remove the ties of cronyism and truly create a level playing field where businesses are neither too influential to fail, nor too small to succeed

It is very rare to find someone who has defied the normal outcomes of political life by taking on corruption, making transparency a cornerstone of his or her agenda, and calling out the crony capitalism and crony corporatism that is so pervasive in today’s politics by actually fighting all of these ills from the inside. However, it seems that Governor Palin is who has indeed done that–both in word and in deed.

Medred laughably claims Governor Palin as a political opportunist, when the truth is Medred is a journalistic opportunist–seizing any opportunity to use the word “Palin” in a story title to drive traffic to his stories.

The ACES tax has…provided the state with about $11 billion in savings……Without mentioning the governor who first proposed the ACES tax, Palin, Wielechowski credited it with the state’s current fiscal health.

Despite what the media and Governor Palin’s detractors say, her record has been effective and fiscally sound. It’s ironic that the New York Times’s attempt at journalism in highlighting misrepresentations of Governor Palin’s record comes shortly after they announced that they will be charging for access to their site due to shrinking readership. So, while they generate faux concern for Governor Palin’s fiscal legacy, they should probably be more concerned with their own.

The New York Times concedes that “some of [Alaska's $12 billion revenue surplus] comes from” the oil tax reform that Governor Palin implemented in 2007.

When Governor Palin signed ACES into law, she asserted that this legislation would provide stability, spur investment and development, strengthen the economy, and create jobs. By all accounts, Governor Palin’s assertions ring true, and her detractors must eat crow once again.

Governor Palin faced challenges that no other Governor in the country had to face in terms of constructing a taxation regime that balanced the need to generate an appropriate amount of income from oil taxation to fund state government with the need to incentivize and encourage oil production. This survey suggests that the tax regime she crafted and implemented has successfully balanced the conflicting interests at play.

Editor’s note: The following is a collaboration between Whitney, Stacy, and myself. The night before last, Ian linked to this absurd bit of nonsense written by Craig “Scoop” Medred (no need to go to the website and give them the traffic). Medred is a simpleton who, inexplicably, gets paid to write for the left-wing blog, [...]

Apparently, making a fool of himself going after Sarah Palin on economic grounds wasn’t enough for Conor Clarke of The Atlantic, because he’s decided he wants to do it again. This time, Clarke’s target is this exchange between Gov. Palin and Sean Hannity (quoted from his post): Hannity: The price of oil is going up [...]
