Saving those carpet bags are you Beth?  Your charechterization of income taxes as "diving into individual homes and pockets", is my and many other Alaskans desire for a safe, vibrant, fiscally sound state, on solid footing from a balance of responsible income taxes like other states,deriving at least some revenue from the itinerant workers on the slope and the huge seattle fishing fleets etc that take our fish basically tax free before they return in numbers large enough to alleviate concerns for some stocks. 
When it all comes down, as it did today in the House, for paying for the village safety officer program and effort, designed to help to keep our communities safe for its citizens, then we have "cut" enough. 
Time to start paying our way Betho,... like adults.  It ain`t about your politics any more, it`s about common sense and public safety. Pay attention.
