Mr.Bradner makes a good point about the many falsehoods believed by many about the "entitlement" of a "dividend" (its not a dividend, its a giveaway). However, Bradner then is guilty of avoiding the implication of new taxes while still paying a dividend. It cannot be done - it is patently State unconstitutional. Facing the necessity of new taxes the Dividend (as currently structured) must end. I have suggested we have a final dividend of $3000 followed by a very low income tax and head tax the following year. This is the "grand compromise" that will provide a buffer for those who depend on the dividend before instituting taxes on the upper income 50% percentile of Alaskans.
