Look at the Dept of Labor statistics.  There are about 365,000 Alaskans that work.  For a budget of $5 billion this comes to $13,698 per worker.  So how does this compare to other states.  I would say it is considerably higher than anyone is willing to pay in income or sales taxes.  We are an underpopulated state, a very large disjoined land mass state, and a state with a high cost of living.  We do not have enough population to support the kind of government outlined in our State Constitution without a golden goose like oil.  Alaskans are facing a massive fiscal problem if the oil runs out, and it is running out.  In four more years we are going to see the biggest bust this state has ever seen.  If Alaska could develop its natural resources on federal and state land without the impediments from the environmentalists we might have a chance, but that is not going to happen.  With Hillary leading by 5 points in the polls we are doomed.  The Democrats are our nemesis.
