Picking the pockets of Alaskans results in the reduction of the quality of life for Alaskans who are trying to provide for themselves.   You advocate for increasing the cost of living while decreasing the standard of living.  You want to burden the parents attempting to provide for the future citizens of Alaska.  You do Alaskans no favors by claiming it is in their best interests to suffer thousands of dollars of loss of income in order to enrich and maintain the standard of living of  Government public sector union workers. Absurd and a mockery of the people who reside and strive in Alaska.  There are very few Alaskans who will not suffer this year by having thousands of dollars confiscated by the Governor of this State.  He's a plague, a blizzard of indifference.  He promised to cut spending in order to get elected.  He has a pipe dream.  He spends wildly with total disregard to economic reality.  He's a calving glacier of damage.  He's a tidal wave of impoverishment for Alaskans.
