Explain to me how an income tax on residents is going to get money from out of state workers?  If I go to WA right now on a two week job I don't pay WA income tax.

I have tried to hire many fisherman over the years in Bristol Bay.  They'll pass up a $70,000 year job to make $30,000 in six weeks and collect unemployment for as long as they can.  So I'm sure any fisherman without a winter job would prefer and income tax to PFD reduction.
