So Mr Alper says that every Alaskan would pay $1,000 in taxes-assumed to be income taxes. Less than half of Alaskans pay a federal income tax so they would shoulder the burden of a state income tax. If you look at Rep Seaton's 15% income tax bill it only brings in $225 Million. Where does the other $475Million come from? A single able bodied person who refuses to work gets free Medicaid, pays no state or federal income tax, subsidized housing, etc. Governor Walker, you are creating a welfare state and income producers will leave the state. Then the tax burden will get even worse for those remaining productive people. Our state govt is overweight. Call the govt unions back to the table and renegotiate the automatic 3.5% "merit" pay increase. You are taxing others to pay govt union workers.
