We all need to pay a fair share to make society work. Corruption, especially institutionalized in our tax policy, allows the wealthy, business, and corporations to avoid income taxes and avoid their civic responsibility, and break the social contract. Nationwide, for 30 years, corporate profits have skyrocketed, and the  recipients of that wealth are special classes of elite shareholders, not the common shareholder, and not the employees. Even the non-profit world has seen absolute surges in corruption, with disturbing amounts of revenue spent on gravy contracts, special salaries, and networking civic projects greasing board members, officers, and administrators careers and salaries at the expense of clientele, government, employees, and the community (think Medicaid). Alaska's government is the same: tax waiver for on base housing, Easy Park, Oil Pipeline transport overcharges, bridges to nowhere money disappearing, the fish board...and private ownership of state permits and licenses?
