The biggest loser in this four way fight is me and those like me.  The hard working middle class that is standing in the middle of this box.  I am not poor, but I am by no means rich or wealthy.  I don't receive any  amount of state assistance.  Yes I benefit from Roads and Schools and other state services but not to an excess like lots of others in this state do.   Yet if the income tax is passed I will pay a greater sum than the paltry dividend which i receive,  I own my home, so Yes thanks to all those in Anchorage who believe we don't already spend enough, I received a tax increase this year from ASD and the Muni. At this rate i will soon be in the 50% poor category.  I guess then i can start getting some of my tax money back.  An income tax comes with an additional 7 million a year in bureaucracy to collect. And do you really trust these legislature that this minimal flat tax passed this year isn't going to increase next yr, or they lower the income threshold to include more pyrs
