Yes, it's called an owner state; was set up that way by our constitution unlike every other state. You all can pay all the state taxes you like. In Alaska, the oil wealth in the ground funds everything. You will find that most Alaskans prefer no state taxes, and the our oil in the ground paying for govt costs.

We have watched the oil industry come back every year crying for tax reductions. It has caused massive state govt corruption with many of our Repubs being sent off to the big house. Palin straightened everything out, and said ACES didn't need changing. I trust her word way over big oil and now see the oil industry attempting to buy off the Senate too. They won't go as cheap though. Half the REpubs up here are against the tax reduction. They know what will occur. The state will spend the 14 billion they have in the bank from ACES, they will call for state taxes, Repubs will go to jail like before for corruption, and finally the people will vote in a dem governor in disgust. You wait and see. My own corrupt Repubs are responsible for this too. Big Oil will buy the dems just as quick too. I sure hope the Senate has more sense.

That's a nice sounding euphemism. I always knew the main problem with Soviets was they had a bad PR agency that didn't give nice sounding names to things.
