What the heck is wrong with Alaska?
I was there a few years ago and one of the tourist guides proudly announced that "over 40% of Alaskan residents work for either the federal or local government".
You'd think there would be a proud streak of independence there but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do there.
What the heck is wrong with Alaska?
Alaska has a socialist state constitution. It receives more federal $$$ per capita than any other state. Public sector unions are very strong. The native population is addicted to welfare thanks to ted stevens. Their senators are a liberal pubbie appointed by her father when he was governor and a “moderate” demoncrat who votes with the libs all the time.
The fantasy that the majority of Alaskans are self-sufficient free spirits is a big exaggeration.
