Yada, yada, yada.  Our biggest problem isn't a lack of JOBS, so PEOPLE can work.  It's an abundance of out of state workers in Alaska's oil and gas industry, mining, commercial fishing and tourism.  That is the problem.  If state income taxes discourage work then how is it that the vast majority of states in the US have income taxes, a whole lot more people than Alaska and a LOWER unemployment rate? Hmmm?
