The survival trait of pilot fish is that they take advantage of the high-pressure zone in front of swimming sharks, which saves their energy, to be in position to feast on the scraps of sharks messy feeding.
The "no state income tax" people are the pilot fish for many of Alaska's elected officials. They have been living off of the fat of the land, and are conserving their financial resources by voting for the candidates who promise them that their finances will continue to be maximized, at the expense of the other 85%.
Doesn't get any more greedy and selfish than this. After rent, car payments, insurance, food, clothing, and other basic expenses are deducted, Walker's veto of half of my PFD amounted to a huge percentage of my disposable income.
Add the expense of auto repairs, studded tires, work tools, and etc; and I'm $6,000 in debt, before the year is half over. I will have to sell my work van in the fall because I owe more on my other vehicle than it is worth.
