Why all of the surprise and concern of taxes on the oil companies.  The Alaskan public put the same jokers back in charge.  We should expect to be getting less and less for our oil, coal and anything else that comes out of the ground.  Most of these guys/gals already have lined their pockets and have jobs down the road with an oil co or lobbyist.  Lest we forget a golden parachute paid for by you and I for being public servants looking out for us in Juneau.
