Is Palin Wealthy?
RECEIVED Sun., Oct. 26, 2008
Dear Editor,
John McCain, in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, said that Sarah Palin lives a frugal lifestyle and that her family was not wealthy. He was explaining why the campaign had purchased [for] Palin $150,000 in new clothes. According to the McCain website, Palin’s family income for last year was about $170,000. First off, if you cannot afford to dress yourself nicely on a budget of $170,000, the money is not the problem. McCain said that she has been thrust into the spotlight. Um … isn’t she the governor of Alaska? What has she been wearing for that job? Sweatpants and an Iditarod T-shirt?
She isn’t wealthy? I realize she is not up to the Cindy McCain standard of wealthy, but surely $170,000 puts you in the upper income level.
