Jenkins, you have some good points but please explain why you do not mention the theft of our oil?  Our legislators and Bill "Wolf Eyes" Walker could fix the budget in one day.  Repeal SB21 and all tax credits and impose a per barrel production tax. Problem solved.  Until Alaskans wake up and understand the scope and extent of the theft that is occurring, we will be in this sinking boat, arguing with each other about the PFD and what kind of taxes we should pay.
