Calling me a “blood sucking taker” when you don't know me, merely points out your own lack of personal ethics.
Just for the record, I happen to be one of those “Blood Sucking Takers who helped pioneer the Prudhoe Bay Oilfield for Atlantic Richfield and Sohio. We braved 130 Below zero wind chills for decades, to produce that badly needed oil for America.
In my time on the job, I met some of the greatest Americans that this country can produce. They happen to be a breed all of their own. Together, we helped make Alaska a very special and unique place.
The money that the State gained as a result of our hard work, provided far more than just personal gain or wealth. The Permanent Fund Dividend that the Oil Industry provided to all residents of this great State, ($1,000 per person per year)not only paid everyone’s income taxes, it kept the State running for decades.
Palin’s ignorant, punitive and Populist attack on that established effort, nearly put a halt to everything good we worked so hard to create.
