Charles, the PFD cut is simply a tax on every man, woman and child.  It taxes the wealthy and the poor the same amount, not a percentage based on income. I do not like it. 

 Now if you want sacrifice then lets cut the oil and gas credits by the same amount as the proposed cut to the PFD. Better yet, lets have an income tax and you can get my support in taxing the PFD at the same rate as a state income tax. Right now the tax on the PFD is roughly 50%. Do you support a 
50% state income tax?

 At lower oil prices Alaskans benefit by the low cost of gasoline and heating fuel. That benefit is negated by taking half the dividend.  The state has less revenue funding.

 At higher oil prices Alaskans paid steep costs for gasoline and heating fuel. That negative is offset somewhat by a higher dividend payment. The state has more revenue funding.

 We agree on Walker's comment being unfounded. I consider it petty and beneath the office of the governor. We also agree on a broken O&G tax system.
