There is some merit to objecting to an income tax.  But ONLY IF you support an even broader tax system.  It is absolutely necessary to raise revenue.  It is wise to spread the tax burden widely - across non-Alaskans as well as residents.  Probably the best way is a Fair Tax - a peculiar form of sales tax with rebates for residents.  But - news flash - it won't be enough if kept at a reasonable level.  Even worse is no general tax at all.  Instead of opposing an income tax, Gillam should spend his ad money ADVOCATING a solution - any solution - to our fiscal crisis.
