State Shutdown

By Lance Clark

So now Governor Walker and the Alaska House Majority Coalition are saying if we can't have an income tax, i.e. our money, they'll shut down the state. All I can say is I hope they never get elected for anything anywhere ever again.

If I wanted to be taxed to death I would move to California so I could at least be homeless and penniless in a warm climate. Or, better yet, why don't all these nut jobs move down there and they can feel right at home! that is, if they can afford one.
