>>Interestingly, much of this money comes from a windfall tax imposed on the oil companies.<<

The $2,069 comes from investment gains in the Permanent Fund. This fund gets annual new injections of oil revenue, but that original principle is kept in the fund and bolstered by inflation proofing.

The $1,200 comes directly from current oil revenue.
