An income tax would make the most sense for Alaska, with everyone who benefits the most in Alaska helping by paying their "fair share".  Gilliam isn't going about this out of a sense of duty and obligation to the rest of us. He is doing it simply to avoid giving up any of his income.  I abhor people like this, those that consider the fact that they have a decent job entitles them to avoid any responsibility or contribution towards the state economic woes.

Without a doubt we do need to fix our over-generous and lop-sided oil and gas tax credit scheme and revise SB 21 so we receive a fair return in production taxes. We also need to access a return for "non-production" taxes to encourage industry to move forward quickly when it comes to developing our resources.

Alaska is an oil and gas industry dream with the lowest taxes and the highest tax credits and incentives in the country.  And why? Because industry wrote it, our political and business leaders sold it and we bought it.
