Good article Mr. Baker. An income tax is one of the most unfair taxes possible. There needs to be no taxes on the people until the state budget is cut to pre-Palin levels somewhere below $3 billion, SB21 is repealed, all tax credit on oil and gas are repealed, and a production tax per barrel is imposed.  After all of that perhaps some taxes would be necessary. A temporary head tax per resident would be the fairest in my estimate and could be deducted from the PFD, insuring that even non producers would share the pain.  This pain would cause more people to demand a frugal government. This plan, as unsavory as it is, will be far better than allowing the legislature to "restructure" the PFD and steal it forever.
