You say the PFD is a Socialist Program!!! This is Capitalism in it's purist form. You don't have a Union or anyone else telling you who you can hire and fire. In Communism, the purist form of Socialism, people are told who they can hire and fire regardless of their qualifications. I don't like them hiring out of state but how would you feel if I walked into your business and said you can't employ your own son or friends because that is taking a Union job or someone else's job who lives on that block. Alaskans are fewer in numbers and do to the poor educational system it is much harder to get the training for the jobs. A Texan can go to school in Texas, get his degree at home then come here. If I want that same job I have to go to Washington State, leaving Alaska, pay housing and more to get the same education. And Unions actually hurt Alaskans in the job market. They protect the out of state workers and not the require to hire Alaskans.
