Palin went after oil companies and their corruptness in her state. What they have is called the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend. Here is is. Look at the increases of money to their checks under Palin.Palin raised taxes on oil companies and used that money to give bigger checks to Alaskans. Full-stop. It doesn't matter if the land was leased or not.
That's very liberal of her.

She imposed a windfall profits tax on oil. She did so by allying herself with Alaska Democrats,
and opposing the CONSERVATIVES in the Alaska legislation.
That's because in real life, before she fell victim to celebrity,
she was a PRAGMATIC MODERATE REPUBLICAN...
...aka a RINO.
Of course all of that changed after her selection for VP.
Hmmmm....this sure sounds like Socialism to me.
