The PFD should never be enshrined in the AK Constitution; each Alaskan’s “share” should be used to first pay for the government services that Alaskans collectively demand, then inflation proof the fund, and then if any money is left perhaps pay a dividend. The Permanent Fund earnings need to be prioritized to pay for government needs not covered by existing revenue streams and to inflation proofing the Fund so that future generations can share in the wealth created by the extraction of oil. By creating the Permanent Fund, we were provided a means of paying for the government collectively through future generations.  You desire to change that in order to buy votes from those who would profit from taxing the earnings of those who are gainfully employed, or who have accumulated wealth so that a dividend can continue.   Although I would benefit from your scheme, I have too much pride to expect others to pay my way just because they have a higher level of income. Totally against your plan!
