Good grief people. It’s not “companies that do business there”. The oil companies are taking state owned (ie people of Alaska) resources and extracting them for a profit. Would you expect part of the profits of gold that came from you land even though someone else with the equipment and expertise was allowed to dig it up? It’s not the same as a company that buys raw materials and makes a product for resale.
Obviously I need to study the details of this. I’m taking something of a hit for my comments.
I’ll read up on it. If my perception is incorrect, I have no problem admitting it.
