Most states have income tax, that is how your state supports itself and all the things we need and want, it is common sense. Alaska should have already had one and not depended on gas and oil. This is not the first time all this has happened. If we do keep the PFD, it needs to have a 3 to 5 year waiting period and capping is a good idea to help, but bottom line income tax is really the only option to keep out AK going.
