"The U.S. State of Alaska has a system which guarantees each citizen a share of the state's oil revenues (see Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend). Those greedy oil companies strike again with a strangle hold on the poor folks." Dickey

Trust me, Dickey- it wasn't the oil companies that set up the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend. It all happened under one governor. The premise is that since individuals don't own sub-service rights, all Alaskans share in a proportion of what is extracted.

By the way, you don't seem to realize how unpleasant you come across as being.
