How much of the dividend goes to the federal government? In round numbers if 1 billion is distributed does 200 million go to the Feds? 200 million would sure plug some holes in the State budget. If you are advocating giving working men and women the PFD and then taking it back in a state income tax that 200 million leaves Alaska. Why don't you just say if you have a job you don't get anything and change the distribution responsibility of the PFD to the department of social services.
