What you say isn't necessarily wrong, but as an INDIVIDUAL, you have no say over your collectively owned "share" if you're an Alaska resident and recipient. You can certainly make your opinion known about in and vote and be influential. Some will agree with your positions and others will disagree. If more than 50% of "the people" disagree with your position along with their representatives then you're basically screwed. 
It's different when you own shares in a Wall Steet stock fund. You have INDIVIDUAL control there. You can cash out anytime, move assets around, take your dividends or reinvest them, and move from Alaska and still retain ownership!
Since the PF is COMMUNALLY "owned", all decisions and control lie with the peoples government.
Therefore I stand by my statement.
