Oh, I see, you are one of those people who think all resources belong to the STATE.
Thats sort of Marxist viewpoint for a freeper, are you sure you're not a DU troll?
Alaska's constitution says the resources of the state belong to the PEOPLE, and the Permanant Fund Dividend is the People's share of those resources.
If you have a problem with that, you have a problem with Democracy.
I've got a problem with the people of Alaska reaching into my back pocket for pork. How about if the rest of us vote to grab all that lovely oil money eh? That would be Democracy in action too wouldn't it?
