Some say Mrs. Palin's ACES is like that, because this year every Alaskan will receive a $1,200 check as a share of the oil bonanza. (The check comes in addition to the approximately $2,000 every Alaskan will receive this year as a dividend from the Permanent Fund, which was established by state constitutional amendment in 1976 as a way of sharing the state's mineral wealth with the people.)

At the link it gives those details on how much is paid out to citizens of Alaska. Their oil revenue is so huge and their population relatively small, so they are all getting a nice chunk of the oil wealth, plus I think it finances most state government programs. A deal no other state has that I know of.
