That was our oil, on our land, and the oil companies made a fortune taking it out. The tax cuts were the result of the oil companies buying our gov and our legislators. Almost all pubs.

Lots of oil companies would gladly come in and produce that oil. Exxon was making record profits.

Naturally only the dems saw the danger and fought the oil companies.

If you think oil companies come into a state and don't use everything available to buy legislators so they can get low taxes you are very naive.

And it was Palin that raised those taxes in the first place. They were fair taxes. Norway has higher taxes and a lot more money as a result.

PS we still have more money than any other state because dems insisted on the permanent fund.

And nothing wrong with muktuk if you like it. I don't like it.
