The electorate is all about understanding Alaska's financial situation.  If you can work your way through the Federal Tax Code, without triggering an audit, then you're able to grasp it.  It's the legislators who fail to grasp that after years of corruption, the chickens have come home to roost.  The "Don't Touch Our Dividend" isn't just about the dividend. it's all about "54-40 or fight" ... "Don't Tread On Me" ... "Remember The Alamo" ... "I have Yet Begun To Fight" ... "Nuts" ... It's our rally cry for today!
Maybe the dividend will eventually have to be touched, but not by this current batch of incompetents.  They lost all of our confidence, our trust, our cooperation, and our willingness to listen to reason.  Matter of fact, when was the last time any "reason" originated from our current legislators?  They are the ones who poked the holes in our boat, and now are demanding that we bail them out.  They can all quit, go South!  I'm willing to take my chances with the next batch.
