John, why stick to just oil? Why not focus on our fair share of our fisheries wealth? 

Do you find it fair that we only tax the value that commercial fish harvesters (primarily Alaskans with limited entry permits), and don't tax anything on the value exported commercial fish processors (primarily large multinational companies headquartered outside of Alaska)? That's how we currently do it - only tax the $2 billion in ex-vessel value and leave untouched the $4 billion that is exported from the state. 

A one-third "fair share" on the export value of seafood would generate $1.32 billion. Gee, if we had been properly taxing the commercial fishing industry since statehood, maybe we won't be in the dire financial straits that we find ourselves in today. 

But maybe you are right. Maybe we should just focus on the other elephant in the room.
