But neither Bob WORKED for or EARNED their PFD. So they're both getting a GIFT of $1000. Alaska is one of the last (if not THE last) state without an income tax. I don't know of any other states that give residents a yearly gift just for living there. Do I like getting a pfd? Hell yes! But before we start taxing hard working Alaskans, the pfd freebie should be tapped to make things fair.
