For crying out loud, stop playing games with us and just take the whole PFD already! Yes, I want the PFD and I could really use the PFD because I am broke but an income tax plus taking the PFD is just too stupid for words.  The State would have to hire more employees to set up the State tax structure, collect the tax, and enforce the tax. And Alaskans will have to fill out tax forms.  This all takes too much time and effort and bureaucracy.  So, the State of AK needs to just simplify all of this and just take our darn PFDs.  It makes me mad and they haven't cut the budget enough...but all of this crazy math of plus and minus is just dumb.
