Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Walker went down to Juneau

What did the arctic villagers do before white folks sold em toyo heaters, snow machines and toilet paper?

Maybe they should go back to the old way, or pay the price to live out there. Ain't nothing for free, except to liberals.

Kinda funny how people conclude that once they have their's (Wasilla exists thanks to the Fed Gov's railroad into the interior) that the rest should go it 'on their own'. (Wasillians weren't flushing toilets or commuting to Ship Creek before the railroad showed up either.)

BTW that same railroad killed some rather thriving business and communities all up and down the Yukon - river traffic .....(not government sponsored either)- which supported business in the interior. Anchorage won the big jackpot in that deal

I am guessing that you did not read the statement that prompted the response about fuel cost in Bush Alaska....So here it is for ya!





As you can see the conversation was centered on school funding and why it is so costly in the Great State...

Now your statement looks a bit out of place as usual! The conversation had nothing to do with what did the villagers do before the white man came.....

If you work on this you will be able to pull a Hannity and find a way to drag the president into your conversation I am sure!

You have a gift!

Anti up them taxes if you want the frills. Wanna compare contributions?

Warren Buffett would be pissed

You have another gift I see!

When you have no answer and look stupid you reach for the bucket of $hit on the floor. Do you understand how uninformed you look to others? Keep your blinders strapped on tight and follow in a straight line Mr. Minion!

Pretty funny how you skirted getting brought into the Valdez burrough.. You are classic liberal when facts are presented you dig in and start babbling.

Well Walt what do you pay in property taxes? I'm guessing zero...

That's right boys mr more money for schools does not pay property taxes

I have not seen any proposal for being annexed up here. 1st question would be why would Valdez want to expand to include an area with very little to offer and lots of demand?

PS I like my tax situation just fine right now.

Most of the state of Alaska pays no property taxes. We will leave the property tax issue to you guys in the lower 48. And yes I pay no income, no property tax. Jealous?

But yet you crawl up to democrats like Walker, like a dog on your hands and knees, asking them to steal from taxpayers for your needs. Pathetic tramps.

Please check your facts! I believe Walker is an "I" for Independent and was a "R" before that. It pains me to see you present yourself in such a stupid light. Try reading on an issue first next time!

FWIW we had a rather decent economy relative to other parts of the state before we "got railroaded" and were no longer important or viable. Seward also lost on the deal but they managed to hang on. Winners in the deal included Fairbanks and other places up and down the rail line. Ship Creek (Anchorage) became the sweepstakes winner in the deal and of course Wasilla also grew to become something more than a Native village. Saint Michael- the only useable deep-water transfer point between open sea and river near the Yukon delta went from being a prosperous non-native town of several thousand alongside the Native village of Taciq to a small mostly Native village of a few hundred. While it's true that many of the small rural places don't pay their way....and can't- the downside of having so much government influence which doesn't support infrastructure is that it's difficult to gain any equity in a lot of places as well. You might own your own place in one of the hugely supported places - paying mightily to own it. Yet it has no value anywhere close to what you've invested due to the fact that no one who might want it could afford it and/or they can get a gov sponsored dwelling for less than they price of interest on the principal.

There's an upside and a downside to gov't intervention (interference). Some win by it/ others lose. Those who keep getting (needing) because they can't sustain are not the winners. While there are more than lots of negatives to being in the taker category- I have no problem with those who have -because of some largess not of their own doing- sharing their bounty with those who have been shorted of the same opportunities.

Lol my wife and daughter live in Wasilla we have a home and pay plenty in property taxes to the matnuska burrough. Most of the state doesn't pay property taxes? When majority of the population is in anchorage and Wasilla-Palmer... Hhmmm

It's called tax revenue that's why....

I said most of the state does not pay property tax, check your geography first...I did not say anything about population. Nice try!
