Strada, you keep mixing up working Alaskans with "some Alaskans,"  who may or may not be working, and "all non-resident workers in Alaska," in addition to mixing up Senator Micciche and Senator Kelly with Representative Gara and then the State Senate Majority when you talk about "coming to their senses" and shutting down the state government.  I also find your "left-wing" references to be intentionally derogatory.  

I can assure you that Real Working Alaskans AND Real Alaskans who may not be fortunate enough to have a job or at least a good paying job, will remember those legislators who wish to keep rewarding the oil and gas industry with high tax credit payments, low to non-existent production taxes,  taking the same dollar amount from the very poorest household in Alaska as from Bob Gillam's household but cries foul when a small percentage income tax is suggested.  I might add that the loss of a dividend on a poor household could amount to 50% or more of the household income.
