Grown Ups have an obligation to know history, pay attention to what is happening in politics and preserve our rights for future generations.

The author may have received more sympathy had they explained the history of the PFD, and the recent changes to tax policy where the legislature is giving away our resources for free. 

Having no revenue due to their own bad decisions, government has instead come for our earnings of our Permanent Fund.

I am surprised that the ADN hires so many people to write commentary, like Elise and Dermot Cole, who have obviously not been watching the actions of the legislature and Gov Walker.

Having seen the wasteful spending in the legislature, the arrogant misuse of our savings accounts from ACES for boondoggles,pregnancy tests,tax credits,LIOs,absurd waste on the gasline, executive salaries for legislative staffers etc.....No One in their right mind would support giving this legislature and Governor more of our own money to throw away.
