text: bycatch, I dont feel I failed at anything ever to include this link. If you read the entire article you would see how high property taxes equal out the difference in taxes compared to other states taxes. This link is in reference to a total tax burden not just state income taxes that so many love to toss about to Alaskans as a free tax ride. Again I say taxes are taxes. This link does the math for you. My research is just fine.
