bycatch: if people think Alaskans dont pay tax to live here by paying one of the highest property taxes rates, paying local sales taxes, looseing PFD income to severence taxes. That adding an income tax is an absolute necessity to be "fair and not have a free ride"  go ahead and tax the heck out of our incomes. But then I'll have to say reduce my property tax burden. Quit taxes that affect the PFD base fund income. There the math is equaled out for ya. I can reference tax data to:   http://www.keypolicydata.com/blog-archives/2015/01/severance-taxes-fuel-alaskas-highest-nation-tax-burden-2013/ 
Again I say tax is tax no matter how its removed from someones income it is still tax.
