'Team of Mavericks'

" And that and we shots exclusive interview with governor Sarah Pailin. You've talked about Senator McCain has talked about you want to eliminate earmarks."

" They want to reduce government spending that you want to keep taxes low."

" you want to reform government you've used that term reform a lot of good -- Senator McCain used the term reform a lot."

" Many people going to Washington. And they made these promises especially when it comes to cutting spending."

" And it doesn't happen how how do you make this happen look how partisan it is in Washington right now how do you get that accomplished."

" Yes gridlock hidden and that's ridiculous that's where we don't have an energy policy that's why there hasn't been the reform of the abuse of the earmark process. And real reform is tough and you do ruffle feathers along the way but. John McCain has that streak of independence -- him that I think is very very important in America today in our leadership. I have that within me also -- why John McCain tap need to be eighteen of the mavericks have. Independents coming in there without the allegiances to that cronyism too damn good ol' boy system. I am certainly a Washington outsider and and I'm proud of that because I think that that is what we need also as a team member in this some. On this new team promising the reform reform that actually happens is tough and you can't just talk about it in you can't just talk about. You -- years of experience in a system of bureaucratic system. You have to show example and what I have done is have been able to show example was a -- cutting taxes every year that I was an office. As a governor now suspending our our fuel tax recently. I'm getting our -- are a handle on the State's budget in Alaska. Growing the surplus so that we can return surplus right back to the people of Alaska which. Eventually -- that the people of Alaska and can't. For example is no income tax there's no sales tax in Alaska there are individual communities. But no state sales to correct the average citizen if I was a resident of Alaska you would write me -- check every year. First 2069. -- depending on how stock market's doing over the last five -- an average and they knew didn't you you also gave recently -- chase an extra check for 1200 dollars I didn't because the price of a barrel of oil is so high right now that state coffers are growing. But the family's checkbook is is being decimated because of the high costs I have to actually moved to Alaska. I'm from New York taxes -- kill me so what we're doing out there though is returning to a share a resource development dollars back to the people who only resource is in our constitution up there. Mandates that as you develop resources is to be for the maximum benefit of the people. Not the corporations not the government but the people of a laugh since Senator Obama on the campaign trail spend a considerable. Biden as well. They often criticized John McCain that to all his plan is he's going to continue the policies of tax cuts for the wealthy. What for those that maybe buy into that. Class warfare. Agreement I think why why shouldn't the rich pay more my question -- use the converse. Why does everyone benefit. If the rich pay is less or everybody pays less in taxes. Why is that good for the economy that that's a great question and everybody does benefit when government takes less from the people no matter what their income bracket is. Because our our businesses then and our families are able to keep more of what their earning reinvest. In what they have as priorities that's jobs are created and that's how we're going to grow our economy but. Let let me talk really quickly about our opponent's position on taxes. Barack Obama has had 94. Opportunities. To be on the side of the American taxpayer and 94 times he has chosen to be on. The opposite side he could've either voted for tax cuts or at least not for tax increases and 94 times he has chosen I believe. The wrong position notes -- this -- going to be a key issue in this campaign. Things have gotten pretty heated in the campaign trail and especially in the last two days it would two weeks where I think you with a focus of the attack. Now that seems that the focus of the attack -- Senator McCain. Do you think these attacks and ratcheting up these attacks by Barack Obama I don't know if you had a chance to see his speech yesterday and by Senator Biden. Do you think these attacks will be effective. I think. The American people are getting down to the facts. And they're looking at voting records and they're looking at the lead incidents and they're looking at dubbed. What is it eighteen vision is that each candidate holds any sharing with the American people and there are such stark contrast between Barack Obama and Senator John McCain and happy to talk about the contrast because this is what it's all about people are interested in. What the issues are that are affecting their daily lives Americans are they want to know that government is going to be put back on the side of the people. And that it will be there will implemented in their government. The people of America realized that. Inherently all political power is in here into the people and government is to be -- implemented policies are. On behalf of the people and the will that they desire that their governments in -- It can and can't underestimate the wisdom of the people of America that -- through the rhetoric and their CN through. A lot of the political cheap shots also and they are getting down to the facts in the voting records that are going to show that stark contrast. And."
