So, you're okay with the other 85% of workers being burdened with this income tax on top of living with the high cost of Alaska residency?

So what happens when 30% or more of that 85% pick up and move to the Lower 48 and take all their spending with them in order to offset some of the cost of working here?

My job doesn't pay enough to commute, but that top 30%, especially if they're 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off ... oh, yeah. And if their families are no longer living in Anchorage or Fairbanks or wherever ... that's $100,000 a year not going into the Alaska economy.

Follow your "brilliant idea" to its logical conclusion and that's where you end up.
