Yet about 50% of Alaskans would pay no tax and have no "skin in the game".  How in the world is that fair?  Why should the workers shoulder all the burden?  With a sales tax all pay, and the people who earn more spend more, therefore still pay more in taxes (still progressive).  Unless you want a flat tax paid by all which would also be fair, just don't expect me to have to pay and let others off scott free.  Also any legislator who votes for an income tax will NEVER receive a vote by me in any future ballot.
