Alaskans cannot pay the true amount of taxes needed to support the extravagant demands made by public sector Unions.  Taxpayers are held hostage by the Unions.  Cadillac healthcare plans,  high salaries,  long vacations,  every Federal and State holiday known to man,  paid sick days,  pension plans of the rich and famous.  As long as oil flowed,  union workers had a mainline infusion of taxpayer funds.  The people benefitted through no State income tax or State sales tax.  Now Unions want their mainline fed out of the pockets and earnings of ordinary Alaskans.  It's a redistribution scheme tantamount to robbery.
