John: how much do you think we need in the PF before we should use its annual income to pay for Govt spending. Would 100 Billion be enough, 150 Billion? Or are you one of those who thinks the PF is their money  and should never be used except to pay dividends. I believe that it is the people who because they  are on limited retirement income or not earning enough to have to pay an income tax that are pushing for such a tax. Because it won't affect them. Are you one of those John?  And those are the same people who think the state should pay them the dividend. All of it, all the time! What has anyone done to deserve that handout. What, just live here? . What happened to the Alaska spirit of independence that was present in the 60s when people did not need free money or handouts? We got by just fine on a lot less Govt spending. And I mean per capita spending, too!
