The proposed income tax is not one of the lowest in the country.  I'm sick of people writing that it is.  Top bracket is around the 10th highest in the country, I've heard 7th. This tax's sole purpose is to continue an out of date government handout, about 700 million in and 700 million out.

This income tax will make recruiting highly skilled professionals to this state even harder, it will make those same people think twice about packing up and moving their businesses and jobs out of state.

Getting rid of the permanent fund dividend check will make people like Papa Pilgrim not move here, and make those same people think twice about packing up and moving out of state, if they can afford the plane ticket.
