Strada, your numbers are off again.  Most Alaskans would not pay more in a state income tax than the dividend, which is exempted from tax, as is the first $4,000 of income.  A single person w/o children would need to make over $60,000 and a married person w/o children over $70,000 before they would pay $1,000 in a state income tax.  That is roughly 2%.  Cry me a river!
Now currently almost half the workers in the oil and gas industry in Alaska are non-residents. They live in another state and contribute zip to Alaska.  Time for that to end.  Pass the tax!
