I do the opposite. My job is in the country and I commute from the city.

Yeah, could have let Lehman Brothers manage it!

Naw, then the government would have had to bail it out anyways.

That's alright. He's welcome to sit up there in the dark and freeze his ass off all he wants.

I can see where the getting paid to be a citizen entitlement is attractive.
Well, guess it ain't all that attractive even though Sarah likes it.

Beats the hell out of paying state income tax. Big oil pays for everything, and pays each citizen. I'd think you corporation haters would love such a scenario.

Wow that is nice, think I will write my congressman and ask him "why if Alaska has so much money do they get so much aid from the lower 48?"

Because you have to pay people extra to live there.

Might have something to do with your tree hugging brethren and all the regulations. Take a look at a map some time and see how much of this state the federal government has taken and consider how many of your tax dollars are thrown at justifying keeping it locked up.

The oil welfare state, whazzup with that?
Where's that pioneering spirit in that? Sounds like food stamps or possibly vote buying?
