Re: [They are not 'shareholders' in Exxon.] "That's right, their investment is living in Alaska," You are automatically an "investor" in companies by living somewhere? (So California citizens automatically get a slice of Google's earnings, eh? And Delaware citizens get a slice of the profits of the 50% of all American corporations who incorporated there, right?????) SWEET DEAL! (I'm moving to Delaware so I can live like a KING off of that redistributed corporate wealth!) Re: "... and they benefit from the deal the State made on their behalf with the oil company..." Yep! It's called an 'extraction tax'. (Coupled now with Palin's big new contribution to their tax code: the new Alaskan Windfall Profits Tax.) Re: "... profit is NOT the same as taxes" Yep! (Taxes get levied on profits most often.... <g>)
