Sarah Palin's TV show producers take advantage of government funding that was created by... Sarah Palin
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 9:26 AM on 21st February 2011

A reality show about Sarah Palin’s life in Alaska is to receive $1.2million in tax credits, thanks to a law created by the governor herself.

While governor of the northernmost U.S. state in 2008, Ms Palin signed into a law a tax incentive for television and movie producers who film in Alaska, allowing them to recover up to 44 per cent of their spending.

But while hit documentaries shot in Alaska have benefited from the subsidy, Ms Palin’s show has profited the most.
The figures make interesting reading given the former vice-presidential candidate’s outspoken views on government spending.

Without the funding she approved, the tax revenue of programmes like Sarah Palin’s Alaska or The Deadliest Catch would have bolstered the state’s coffers.

If he ever casts them devils out of lady Sarah, the Pacific Rim ain't got a chance.

EDIT...If them gold diggers on that soap opera/reality series had been smart, they'd dig in Sarah's offshore bank accounts.

3. Thankfully....
People aren't as into shooting animals in the face for no particular reason other than one's own amusement and that piss-poor show was canned. Otherwise, she'd have managed to make even more money.

Scum bag.
