FM:  There are relatively few non-Alaskans who earn enough to pay an income tax.  Most non-resident employees work in the seafood processing and hospitality industries, are seasonal, and do not earn enough to pay an income tax.  The ones that would pay the tax are the 200,000 Alaskan wage earners that earn enough to pay the tax.  So you prefer to burden hard working Alaskans with an income tax to get a few dollars out of non-Alaskans.  You must not be an Alaskan.
