Alaska is broke.
Why?
It all got given away in corporate welfare.
We don't have a revenue problem.
We don't have too big a government.
We have a legislature controlled by corporate interests who has bled us dry subsidizing private corporate interests.
Eliminate all corporate welfare and we have more than enough money to fund government and money to set aside for the future.
Keep giving away billions in corporate welfare and you're going to have to dig in your pocket in order to give more corporate welfare in the future.
You can ignore the actual problem,
…you can refuse to see the solution.
That would be stupid.
It would also be what is, and has been happening for 3, nearly 4 decades now.
When we're finally bled dry and the corporations move on to easier pickings,
…then and only then will some folks realize the lie that the corporations had your interests in mind.
Elections are coming.
Elect some more corporate lackeys. It will be over sooner that way.
