Idiots.

There’s a word I would have added in front of ‘idiots’, but otherwise, ITA.

Actually, if Alaska wants to go back to Russia, it would save the US taxpayers money. Alaska takes more in Federal funds per person than most any other state.

“Some states, including Alaska and Virginia, received more than $15,000 per person from the federal government, even after subtracting the billions the state spent on income tax. This figure is nearly two-and-a-half times the amount received per person after taxes in states like Nevada, one of the poorest states in the country.”

You aren't supposed to take this literally. They're making a point. The federal government isn't exactly popular in Alaska — because it's the major land owner, and it interferes a lot in local affairs. (At least that's the impression I got from visits while living near Alaska for decades.)
