RMF let me give you an example. In the 70's in Alaska a liberal (poetic Bush Rat) Republican governor (Jay Hammond) teamed up with a bunch of young liberal (ad hoc) dems who won the house in the legislature and completely restructured the social system. And they fought the pubs every step of the way who didn't want us to do any of it. Especially the permanent fund.. Here is what we got. A huge government program called the Alaska Permanent fund that that takes 25% of all natural resources on state land and puts it into the fund. The legislature cannot ever touch the principle of the fund, so it grows and grows. As a result we are now the richest state in the union (over 50 billion in the bank), pay no taxes and everyone gets $1,000 to $2,000 per year in a check. Other oil and coal and natural resource states could have done what we did. But only the liberal's seem willing to fight the carbon industries, are OK with big government programs and engage in modern social planning. Our social systems are in tact and unions are thriving. During the pipline the gov passed a law that all workers had to be union or be paid at least union wages. Our public schools are top notch (although the pubs when in power keep cutting their budgets). And we take care of our people, except the pubs over the years keep trying to destroy the social system. The present (tea part) gov will not take ACA medicade. We formed native corporations to give natives power and money. We formed women's commissions. My ex was the first director. We formed one of the best comprehensive emergency medical systems in the world and state of the art alcoholism and drug abuse programs and even legalized pot (in the 70's-lol)!
