A State income tax increases the cost of living while reducing the standard of living of the income producing population.   We need the few income producing Alaskans we have.   Increasing property taxes on  property owners,  who have invested in Alaska through 30 year mortgages,   hurts the families who own, maintain, and improve their property. Rising property taxes force the loss of family homes when taxes make owning property a financial impossibility.  Increasing State revenue {taxation} is a burden  on the population which harms the population and creates the ultimate inequality.    Taking away pfd checks issued to resident family members harms across the board.  Reduce the size and cost of State government,  that is the only way to preserve and protect the population.
