As a lifelong Alaskan , who has received the PFD, since it's inception I never felt it was my God given entitlement. There is no other state in the country  that provides cash hand outs to their residents. North Dakota, voted to put their dividends into their infrastructures that benefit their citizens. Over the years, my  choice has been to give these funds to various charitable causes. I strongly believe the money should go for state, and local projects. As it is the money is taxable, therefore the federal government receives 20 percent from the 750 million spent on this fund. As Alaskans we do not even pay state taxes. I am exhausted by people stating that the Governor wants to take our PFD. There is something inherently wrong with this declaration. It has become an entitlement, with no regard as to the unique situation Alaska holds.
