Palin position on Poverty
|
• Sarah Palin has been a firm supporter of the Salvation Army and as a result has not only provided them with recognition but has also encouraged charity to the organization as a whole.
• Through her various statements, Sarah Palin feels that although there is adequate funding for faith-based initiatives, the municipal revenue should be shared between the states so that each of the local areas can attend to their own priorities.
• In her opinion, there should be a rural energy plan which should be established and followed by each of the states.
• One of the points about which Sarah Palin has been particularly vociferous throughout her campaign is the Earned Income Tax Credit, also known as EITC. According to her, since EITC is a work support program for low-income families, people who are qualified must put in their applications and avail the various benefits. It is on her initiative that thousands of welfare recipients were incorporated as a part of the active work force by the EITC.
• Sarah Palin has categorically stated that she opposes actions which cut off Alaskans from the American Fisheries because of the fact that today many coastal villages depend on commercial fishing as the main economical activity.
• Her support for the Salvation Army springs from the fact that it is an organization which is deeply rooted in the region's history and has served people not only in the region but all over the world. It is in recognition of their efforts that Sarah Palin has proclaimed the celebration of Red Kettle Day in Alaska and has also urged with the people of Alaska to support the Red Kettle campaign.
