A lot of good facts in your article Mr. Babcock, but the problem comes with your solution to vote Republican.  You mean the likes of Senator Micchiche and Meyer (employees of the oil companies posing as representing the people? You mean all the rest of the legislature who have voted to give tax credits to the globalists in effect paying them to steal our oil?  You mean the Republicans that know the oil tax is so screwed up that we wont even collect any thing for years if ever?  Sorry, sure the labor unions and Democrats are hurting Alaskans, but it is the Republicans who could have voted on over riding "Wolf Eyes" Walker's veto, but refused because they wanted the PFD raid to happen. Walker stated that he would take the hit for the PFD raid, and the Repubs gladly went along.
