Doesn't anyone find it interesting that Charles Wolforth completely ignores the fact that the OIL COMPANIES ARE NOT PAYING THEIR SHARE because former governor Sean Parnell (Conoco Phillips Executive) and our corrupt Republican legislators gave away Alaska's oil profits by giving the biggest tax break in the U.S.A.      Our corrupt leaders are on the take for the oil companies and that single fact accounts for the vast majority of the loss in gross product.  

Charles Wolforth, you should be ashamed of yourself..  This article is like a smokescreen for the oil companies, who have apparently bought you out, lock stock and barrel.  You are now basically a hired gun (pen) for the oil establishment.  Congratulations,  you made it.
