Its not just poor people who want welfare- so do the corporations.

Alaska has paid billions and billions of public dollars in corporate welfare payments to global corporations.  The very LEAST we should expect is an equity ownership in a given oilfield development.  if they invest $200 million, and we invest $200 million, then we should own 50% of the development.

If we do not get an equity participation, then these corporations should not get one penny from Alaska.
