Gee Rachael, a state income tax would amount to a couple of hundred dollars or less for the average Alaskan.  The dividend tax amounted to over $1,000 per person, be they child, elderly poor. How many jobs did that cost us?

A state income tax would takes less than 3 cents per dollar from your taxable income.  A sales tax would probably amount to at least 3 cents on every dollar you spend.

Maybe we should raise the minimum wage in Alaska?  Think of all the jobs that would be created by that extra nickle in your pocket!
