We are a confederation of states. There are states rights. Some things we fund at the state level and some things at the federal level. You do not seem to understand that with your post below.

Your comment about us not using our state's money is not uncomfortable as it is illogical. States have certain obligations and the federal government other obligations.

The boarder is a federal obligation. So your comment makes no sense. And I am an American as well as an Alaskan, it is not "their" money any more than mine. I pay federal income taxes and so I get a vote regarding federal expenditure.

Which is all I am doing. Casting my vote.

<Why do you say something like that? It has no relevance or logic.<

Sure it does, but perhaps a bit uncomfortable of a thought.

<I see that type of illogical thinking all the time. Where is the logic you are using to say: I am sure you would not mind using Alaska's permanent fund? <

Oh! It's not illogical. It is taking money from those that prepared, and made good decisions and distributing it to those that perhaps have not made the same preparations, and good decision making process.. For the good of everyone as a whole.

<I do not mind at all using American money and am willing to pay higher taxes<

So you don't mind using "Other Peoples Money"

<We have laws about taking in refugees. These are refugees from crime ridden countries. If you return them they might be killed. <

The US is a crime ridden country.. Ever been to Singapore? Next time you are there, ask a Taxi driver if he has ever been to the US.. They will all tell you the the US is "too dangerous"
