As the article says, they don't have to, they tax the oil company.

Everyone who trots out this Democrat talking point seems to forget that the oil companies in Alaska are tenants, not owners.

And owners can charge rent.

Why would Alaskans allow people to drill on their land for free?

Do condo owners in the lower 48 allow people to live in their properties without paying rent?

You are the one trotting out the dem talking points.

The dems want to tax the oil companies like Palin has taxed the oil companies like you indicate you want to tax the oil companies.

There is a big conflict between the GOP position on taxing oil companies and the GOP Veep's position on taxing oil companies.
