text: Alaskans own the oil, so we are entitled to the full dividend. The oil price has doubled from $26 to $50, so the PF dividend has to be doubled to $4000. This $4000 per person will be "pumped" into the Alaskan economy to prevent a depression. The PF with $52 million can easily afford this dividend. The Permanent Fund is for Alaskans and is not be be used to make-up for the taxes that the oil corporations do not pay.
