And the Louisiana Purchase? I suppose you studied in detail that long overnight meeting with Edward de Stoecki and William H. Seward, an expert in the Republican principals of Thomas Jefferson. Or would you like to steal it, as the democratic party did with New Mexico. 4 cents? http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=...

If people feel they need to get a state handout to live here, it's time they hit the road and go find somewhere else to live. Those of us who love living in Alaska will be just fine without them..

It's sad to say , but this team got what it deserved . During the season this team ran up the score on weaker teams . They could have showed some sportsmanship or mercy , but instead showed none . Because they showed no sportsmanship during those games , they deserved to lose this game. And they did.

So much for the Free Market, huh? Good for thee but not for me? You and the socialist policies of your friends have got to be stopped, Daniel Donkel. The oil industry needs to pull itself up by its bootstraps. Giving them free money will only encourage them to be lazy and trap them in the vicious cycle of dependence.

The facts don't support your assertion. It's a global oil production issue, fueled by the high prices during the last decade. Saudi production has gone up from it's low in 1985, but 2012 was still less than 1980. US production, however, skyrocketed. US oil production by year: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/Leaf...

The average earnings in Alaska are around $50,000 per capita including the pfd check. Instituting an income tax will result in more harm to Alaskan workers then any impact on the deficit. It will force qualified workers out of the State by increasing their cost of living while decreasing their standard of living.
