I am rather certain that the concepts that you chide me for speaking about were already adequately covered by the Alaska Statehood Act and by the Alaska Constitution.  My recollection is that Alaska would not have been admitted into the Union as a State without reserving mineral rights onto itself... in order to pay for the needs of government.   The needs of the State were considered before Statehood, and it was recognized that Alaska could not support itself via the traditional means of other states...income taxes.  Thus the Federal Government required the State to maintain mineral rights to pay for government.  The mineral rights of those that live in other states have no bearing on this discussion.  

If this concept represent communism, then I guess you have me labeled correctly.  I think I am much more of a capitalist than a communist, as I believe that the earnings of some should not be redistributed to others by instituting an income tax while still distributing a PFD.
