Why do so many Alaskans object to paying an income tax which is paid by all other states in the US?  At the same time, they expect basic services to be taken care of, which are more difficult and costly due to Alaska's far flung communities. 

Where is the sense of all chipping in to benefit our great state, everyone paying their fair share? Nobody likes taxes, but good God! We live in the most beautiful place on the planet. Let's pony up to keep it that way, people! 

Also - why is there no sales tax in Anchorage, our biggest city where every damn Alaskan and visitor has to spend money to get to and from home?  People in towns where there is a small sales tax don't begrudge it. They know it goes into keeping our towns running. C'mon, Anchorage! 

As for Pistol Pete Kelly - he's already put Alaskans on notice that towing the Grasping Our Pussies party line of 'capitalism vs. socialism' is his platform. Kapow!
