Apparently you've chose to disregard Ms. Steinacher's commentary about the high cost of living in rural Alaska, Smith.  I'll bet if you were subjected to the high cost of fuel, double that of urban Alaska, you'd be squealing like a stuck pig.  I'll bet instead of moving out of Alaska, you'd try your level best to rally around the flag advocating to take the other guy's income and PFD but leave yours alone.
