Not a popular thought but if we need taxes I would rather to see a state wide sales tax on most items (excluding food) and have it seasonally adjust to benefit from our tourist crush. Tourist will not bypass AK in favor of another destination because of an additional 1% in a sales tax so don't go there.
Any consideration of any tax needs a high and low projection of expected revenue raised so we the voters can see all options side by side. No rosy projections of pie in the sky numbers either.
Sales tax
PFD reduction
Income Tax
or???
Side by side
There you go, wanting to continue screwing visitors...
If you want to screw visitors why not just raise landing fees at the airports and docks and especially the train stations?
Why have sales tax and income tax when they both have huge infrastructural requirements that do not lend themselves to being handled by the same employees?
Oh yeah, you think wealth redistribution is a good thing... and ...
Screw it, arguing with morons is just not fun...
