I guess you weren't paying attention when these revenue matters were discussed in the legislature?  When they were shown a chart of how little an income tax or sales tax would raise,the legislature laughed.  These tax measures would only raise a small percentage of the tax credits we pay out to the oil industry.

If people were paying attention they would have seen that the only possible way to raise the money needed to fund the state is to collect our fair share of oil revenue.

Robin Brena has already explained that if we were getting our historic share of oil profit,there would be no crisis.

The legislature has shown us with their spending habits, they are not concerned about solving the state budget crisis. They are only interested in using the self created 'crisis' to gain access to the permanent fund.

Meanwhile the permanent fund only made 1% last year (down from average of 6.4%) We can't let Walker take 5% every year.

The focus must be audits and getting our fair share.
