Thank you Robin!  I could have written this, but you did it much better than I could have.  Good solid facts, whether people want to believe them or not - doesn't make them any less true.  My husband and I also own a small business in Palmer.  We've been paying Corporate Income Tax all along (it was never repealed) and we are happy to pay our fair share in personal income tax as well, in order to maintain services, education and the quality of life we have enjoyed our entire lives here in Alaska.
