Sorry, John.  Your argument is not persuasive.  Did you sit though ISER's pitch last October with the Conference of Alaskans at the UAF?  ISER made no mention of the fact that we give away our oil, or that we are paying almost $1 billion in corporate welfare to Big Oil, per year.  Gunnar's pitch was basically: Alaskans are not taxed enough.  

Want misery?  Tell Alaskans you want them to pay $200 million per year in income taxes so we can give away $700 million in corporate welfare to Big Oil.

Or tell Alaskans that you want each family to give up $4,000 to $5,000 dollars this October while Alaska gives away $10 billion dollars worth of oil, tax free.
