I still don't understand why the talk of an income tax when we have companies taking millions and billions of dollars out of the state in resources like gold, minerals, fish tourism, chain stores, gas oil and aren't being taxed to keep the robbery going. The states workers is being asked to come up with taxes to keep things going so that Alaska's biggest export, which is MONEY, can continue and the legislature won't touch it, the Governor won't touch it, the people who will start paying taxes won't get up in arms about it. Do you think that Norway or any other civilized country would put up with such a robbery and pay an income tax so it can continue, go figure!
