Sarah's $100,000. speaker fee "Goin' right back into the cause."

She won't make a profit. So why demand a fee at all? :rofl:

Can we get a shooting Tea Baggers in a barrel gif?

1. Note she's very careful not to specify what that "cause" is

It's the SPIES program: Sarah Palin Interested in Easy Street.

2. Hey, she didn't say when she would donate it "back to the cause".

Any financial advisor will tell you she'll have a lot more money to donate if she first invests it in something and lets it earn dividends for 15, 25 years or so.

6. 'Cause she reeeeeally loves the moolah!

and 'cause she needs extra money "cause her boy-toy husband does not work regularly, and 'cause her daughter has an out-of-wedlock child that Grandma will be supportin'..and 'cause she has two other younger daughters comin' along...and who knows how many young'uns they'll add to the family..that's 'cause why:)

and the RNC is not a-gonna buy those designed duds she's grown to love:)

5. Failin WILL make something off this $100K speaker fee.

She will claim is as a tax deduction, a charitable gift to a non-profit organization.

7. Then she'll still owe taxes on every penny of it.

Political action donations are not deductible, ergo, she'll owe taxes on every penny of it.
