I love the way everyone keeps saying, I'm a hard-working tax-paying Alaskan' YOU pay NO taxes, to the state!!  What the hell are you even talking about? As a Muni resident I pay an exorbitant amount of property tax, over $300 a month, but that goes to city services, I pay nothing to the state and neither do you. If we do initiate a sales tax at least week can deduct it from our federal taxes. However, I agree that there have not been nearly enough cuts to the state budget, including all of Walker's cronies who are making $200K an HOUR!!  Get real, man! I know no one wants to give up their pet service, schools, roads, parks etc. but maybe it's time to do an across the board cut, like sequestration. 10% off of everything, that way we have no 'favorites' or sacred cows and everyone can squeal in unison.
