"Hi, my name is Dermot, and I want to destroy the dividend program to subsidize the theft of Alaska's oil."

And rational person see the problem with this?

$10 billion worth of oil is stolen by Big Oil per year.  Well over $45 billion over the last four years. The raid on the dividend program passed by those in the Senate who voted to pay to have our oil removed does not include inflation proofing- which means the dividend program would go away- and not even be available to fund state government in the future, if absolutely necessary.

Brilliant.
