[EX Q]: Ed, I see you're convinced. I'm not because I can do math.

1.5% income tax represents $36 a month from my paycheck. That's 6 fewer meals with meat for my family, a tank of gasoline, a month's membership at the rock climbing club my son loves. Or about 4 hours extra work for me to offset the lost income and the taxes associated with working those extra hours.

You see, for the average person, that money comes out of their paycheck FIRST and they don't get it back (if they get it back at all) until May. Our bills come in 52 weeks out of the year, so for 51 weeks out of the year, we'd have to do something to offset that lost income. I'm sure there are people in Alaska who get paid well enough that $40 a month is no big deal to them, but I'm also equally sure that many Alaskans are in the same boat I am. That money represents a line item in our budget that either must be funded or not, but will be felt.

And that's if the tax is only 1.5%. I've heard 6%, 15%, and 30% on offer.
[EX A]: No

[EX Q]: Damm, read a lot of comments, some were on point, some were just political, some even referenced san fran, guess they were talking about anch being a sanctuary city also,  plus all the hand outs at the parks, well the point is, the OWNERS of these planes earned those tires, and the vec's that sat on top of them, they worked for them, I know because I have never found a free one yet, I hope they catch them, prosecute them and lets see what our criminal system does, I have $100.00 that says, these are poor misguided souls and nothing happens, because we are a soft , kind hearted people, sorry bastards,,,
[EX A]: Yes

[EX Q]: How is giving me $1 worth of property tax relief, and then turning around and taking that $1 back in the form of a sales tax, going to benefit me?

The people always banging the drum for a Muni sales tax are the BIG commercial property owners. They will pay far less in taxes and shift the burden to the citizens. They will get millions in property tax relief and pay very little in sales taxes.

The owner of the Dimond Center is one of the biggest boosters of a Muni sales tax. Also, think how much ConocoPhillips and BP will save on their Anchorage office towers.
