This attitude is the real problem. People who don't know diddly-doo. The permanent fund was established to fund Alaska government after oil was gone. It was not established to distribute handouts. Walker as far as i can see is the only responsible one who understands what is happening and has the courage to stand up to ignorant people who have no clue about the realities of taxes, spending, and trying to create a climate where business can succeed. The PFD will have to go away. It makes no sense to maintain one bureaucracy to dole out PFD's and another bureaucracy to collect an income tax. People lived in Alaska for thousands of years before the PFD and they'll be just fine after.
