"A responsible broad-based tax, such as a modest personal income tax on Alaska's higher income earners and/or a sales tax that would accomplish several goals: 1) Give all Alaskans a personal stake in how state money is spent; "

Uh, how does an income tax that only affects half the people "give all Alaskans a personal stake in how state money is spent"?

Want to give ALL Alaskans a personal stake in how state money is spent? Stop the insane socialist giveaway of state Permanent Fund earnings to every man, woman, and child each year. And no, it's not a raid on YOUR money, and the PFD is not YOUR private piggy bank in some delusional world where you get state services for free while being paid to live here. As will be amply demonstrated in the near future.

Also note that the authors suggest diddling with oil company (please take our oil) credits, but not one word about  revisiting SB 21, or even auditing the oil companies for compliance with the existing tax/royalty scheme.
