Is the PFD an entitlement? Yes. But, it is an entitlement by statute. The veto of half the dividend constitutes taxation without representation which is unconstitutional. To arbitrarily impose a $1,000 head tax on every qualifying resident PFD recipient is akin to King George taxing colonials for tea. And Parliament's inaction makes them complicit and, therefore, equally at fault. Of course, that was acceptable in 1700's England. I think that's why Amerexit came about. I'm pretty sure this "tea tax" is illegal in both the US and in Alaska. Time to dump the incumbents and recall King George. If you agree that the PFD should be taken away, elect some representation to do it the right way... Vote on it!
