I remember the year when Palin gave us $3300 dividends. My wife watched the day of dispersal as a USELESS CRACKHEAD went to the bank, with 5 children in tow (5 children who wouldn't have existed if she hadn't kept her legs closed to pay for her drugs-yes I called her a crackwhore) She looked like hell. She loudly and brashly declared to the bank teller "Hi, I want to withdraw" The teller, my wife related seemed stunned and disturbed by what he already knew he was about to participate in and stuttered: "how....how much do you want?"  "Alllit" the woman slurred out in response.  WHY do we fight to protect the permanent fund? Let them cap it. Let those of us who work industrial and retail jobs for a living-and make an HONEST wage and live HONEST lives, reap the rewards as such and see the PFD for what it is-a simple bonus. The PFD may be a fiduciary success lauded the world over, but time changes things. No simpler than that.
