The fiscal problem that faces Alaska, is how to shrink the size of government to reflect the tiny population of 700,000 people, half of who don’t earn enough to pay Federal income tax. Governor Walker has promised to keep State workers in the style to which they have become accustomed to,  regardless of how short sighted and oppressive his tax scheme harms the private sector. Governor Walker needs $60 billion dollars to build his pipe dream. He  wants to change the direction and purpose of the permanent fund.  He does not want to shrink the size of State Government.  He knows the Permanent Fund is where the real money is.  He offers to tax Alaskan's income as a carrot to the ideologues who believe taxes are a sacrament to get them to vote for his "restructuring".  It's a heist.  It's "never let a crisis go to waste" for the opportunists.
