I wish one of the Illuminati here can explain to me how it is legal under the State Constitution to pay a cash dividend with no identifiable government purpose and then have a personal income tax too. Read Article 9: "Taxes are only legal for a public purpose. Also, dedicated funds are prohibited". I say that if "we" really need an income tax, there is no way "we" can continue the dividend in its current structure. "We" should be grateful that our oil wealth can now affordably pay out $2.5 billion a year to partially fund the government we "deserve".
