Comment: While we complain about starting to pay taxes once again like we used to...
...we watch our enemies and competitors impinge upon freedom and human rights all around the world..we watch our finest sons die fighting those enemies of free thought and religion.
But us up here in Alaska?, we don`t want to pay taxes like every other state does, to support the services to the families of our servicemen and women.  I served during the Vietnam war, my dad was a WWII Air-Corp vet. My grandfather served in world war one as a doughboy. Nearly every cousin in my family has similarly served.  
For some in our state government, to take the largest amount of federal tax money per capita than any other state, then cry and whine that your a "socialist" if you want to help your state and country, and pay a fair share of our own taxes, seems selfish to the extreme. 
These boys fight with those taxes, that we don`t want to pay. I`m ashamed of our Senate and it`s ALEC-like anti-tax policy. That`s a fact.
