'The reality is if the oil companies do all leave for states with stable tax structures.'

Jesse, how's that working out in the Dakota's? Unless you just fell off the carrot wagon, the Dakota model was used by are august body to push the last tax structure. Never mind that the landowner's there were paid 10x, in cases, than we are for THEIR oil. THEIR oil, get it? So now the model is rapidly collapsing but none of the wizards in Juneau are warning us plebes of those dangers. 

"Educate yourself and stop being ignorant to the fact even your world is touched by this." 

 I've been educated more than once and I suggest that if you can't hack it then leave. This is the best thing that's happened to Alaska since the crash of the 80's. We will end smarter, leaner and all the chaff will fall out as it should. Painful? Absolutely, as it must.
