Fundamental PFD question: Alaska is an owner state.  Does the PF belong to individual Alaskans or the state government? 
If it belongs to the government, then it should all be used for essential state functions.  Everyone who has been cashing their dividend check for the last 35 years should have been acknowledging that they were accepting welfare every time they did it.  
If it belongs to the people, then taking the PFD is exactly the same as taxing every man, woman, and child $2,000 per year.  What other state applies a $2,000 tax on a 3-year-old?  
You can't have it both ways.
