I thought the word ‘fed’ made that pretty clear

“What do you think will happen when the oil industry pulls out of Alaska???”

Where there are billion dollar profits to be made, the oil industry is not leaving. This is a fear tactic used by the oil industry so they can attempt to get Alaskans behind reducing their taxes. They also attempt to bribe our politicians as well, but by all means become a victim of their fear tactics.

“BECAUSE THE OIL INDUSTRY PAY FOR EVERYTHING IN ALASKA!”

Actually the Federal government contributes quite a bit to Alaska
I’ll quote from the article I posted for you…about federal taxes…

“funding a third of all our jobs?…third of our governor’s proposed state budget for 2011 (that’s $2.8 billion) that comes from Washington…for every dollar we do pay, we enjoy close to two dollars in government services in return (that’s about $14,000 per person, also more than most everyone else in the country”

Governor Parnell is an idiot to continue with Palin’s rhetoric. He’ll bankrupt this state.

Why is that? BECAUSE THE OIL INDUSTRY PAY FOR EVERYTHING IN ALASKA!

What do you think will happen when the oil industry pulls out of Alaska???

Dear feds: We loathe you. Please send money

I don’t see how it is unconstitutional. The idea is to set aside the 400 million to generate interst to pay for the scholarships. Once this money is set aside it does not “hamstring future legislators to fund yesterday’s pet projects” It is a one time deal so this statement doesn’t make sense.

“want the government to grab the rich people’s money and give them benefits from the stolen loot.”

This is actually the opposite of what is happening. Our government is grabbing tax dollars and giving it to the super wealthy… trillions to bankers who then give billion dollar bonuses to themselves. They are stealing from our children as they will be paying interest to the Chinese for this loan…forever. People want to lower taxes? Then stop allowing the government to attack innocent nations, wasting billions in a giveaway to companies like Halliburton, Kellog Brown and Root, Blackwater. These wars are all about the Military Industrial Complex, Eisenhower was right! (See the movie War Inc.,with John Cusack and Marissa Tomei, a comedy very close to the truth) We are even allowing our government to waste billions illegally spying on us through “homeland security”.

As we write, they are preparing the reasons for an attack on Yemen. Time and time again they use fear to steal from the taxpayers, ‘the economy is going to crash if we don’t give money to the bankers’, ‘they’ll be no jobs if we don’t give money away in a ‘stimulus’ ‘the underwear bomber’s going to get us so we have to attack Yemen’….meanwhile the rich get richer and the poor…can die for all they care.

I just read a story where stimulus money was given to Boeing to clean up their own environmental mess. They paid a $500,000 fine, then got 16 million in stimulus money to clean it up in a no bid contract.

Now after all this government waste, they are coming for our Social Security and Medicare because of the debt they have created on these enterprises. Give me a break. People paid in for these programs, they are not ‘entitlements’. It is the big Corporations and our corrupt politicians that feel they are entitiled to taxpayer money.

stina: Do you know what VECO was? It was an oil service company. Bill Allen was corrupt. He did bribe. AND HE IS IN JAIL FOR IT.

VECO is not the same as ConocoPhillips, BP and Exxon. They’re apples and oranges.

So you are on the same side as VECO Chairman Bill Allen? What does this say about our current state legislators…

“Last year, as part of a major federal corruption investigation, an oil-services executive — former VECO Chairman Bill Allen — pleaded guilty to bribing some state legislators as he sought to limit the size of an oil-tax increase approved in 2006.”

Do you know what happens when the oil industry stops investing in Alaska?

FYI: ConocoPhillips vice President of North Slope operations and development announced that for the first time in 45 years the company will not drill a new well in 2010. The company is shifting its focus to federal lands, which have a far more attractive tax structure than state land.

Alaska is the highest taxing oil and gas province on the globe. Taxes deter investment.

Do you know what any of what I’m writing means? Am I talking over your head?

FIGURE IT OUT! Ask someone to explain it to you.

This is money that is set aside so that legislators do not have to add to it later. This will give kids who currently have no college ambitions due to financial issues the incentive to get their grades up so they can attend college. This is win-win.

How can Rep. Paul Seaton even consider voting no on this when at the same time he has petitioned the Governor to cut taxes on the oil companies?

“The representatives who signed the letter are Jay Ramras(of ‘I used my intuition to determine you are not being gouged on gas’ fame), Craig Johnson, Kyle Johansen, Mike Hawker, Charisse Millett, Mike Chenault, Alan Austerman, Bill Stoltze, Nancy Dahlstrom, Bryce Edgmon, Bob Herron, PAUL SEATON, Peggy Wilson, Cathy Munoz and John Harris.”

We can’t fund children’s college education, but we can help the oil companies keep more of the billions they take from the state yearly? I mean, we wouldn’t want to cut into their record profits or anything.

Personally I feel the future of our chidren in the state is more important than the future of the oil companies in the state, and tax or no tax, they are not walking away from the $$ they make here.
