A sales tax is the right way to go, everyone pays their share towards our economic crisis.  The statements on here about how it is not fair for the lower income and that it will benefit the wealthy just isn't true.   Who goes out to eat more, who buys higher end cars, toys, shops at higher end stores? The wealthy do, there for they will be paying more in taxes then the lower income.  Wake up people the burden should not be put on the people that work and pull their own weight.  Now should there be an income tax on out of state workers, ABSOLUTELY! They should not be able to earn their wealth here and not contribute.  But a sales tax will bring in more revenue from all the tourists that will visit our great state and every Alaskan will have to contribute their part.
