Ravenous Wolves are Circling Our Stash of Cash. Protect Our P.F.D.



Ravenous wolves are circling our Stash of Cash. En garde mes Amis, Protect Our P.F.D.
“Quite a trick to blow through Alaska’s savings, then propose a dividend cap.” Clem Tillion, ADN Jan. 25th 2016 You Agree? They have spent over twice the value of our fund and now want to spend even more. They do not know when, or how to stop spending. Starting with OUR Dividends they want access to our Permanent Fund itself. What?
“Alaskans beware: Government will never defund itself.” Jim Crawford ADN Feb. 6th 2016. He goes on to write; “Don’t fix the public budget by breaking the backs of Alaska families. A bloated bureaucracy won’t sustain Alaska’s economy. A stable and private sector will.”
Gov. Bill Walker himself says that it is time for us all to pull together and use the People’s Permanent fund. Ref: ADN Friday, Jan. 21st 2016. Gov. Tony Knowles honestly asked the people and was resoundingly told NO by an 84% referendum vote in 1999. Yes, Bob Kaufman, you and many others, are all Thieves, Robbers and Fund Rapists. Having, down the years, overspent our oil income $Billions, would you now rob the Peoples Permanent Fund too?
It is time to become aware that our minds are being pre-conditioned, by one commentator after another. We are being brainwashed, Herr Gobbles style, by lying propaganda published regularly via the ADN and other local media into accepting the idea that we must allow our state access to our Pot of Gold, Our Permanent Fund. En garde mes Amis, Protect Your P.F.D. from the ravenous wolves who greedily circle our Stash of Cash. Frau McGuire is even better than Herr Gobbles. See ADN Sunday, March 6, 2016 “There’s a way to keep PFDs, balance our budget, limit government.” Is that so? Well, I may be Irish, but my eyes are not green.
The Dirty Bastards club is very strong here in Alaska. First they had to rid us of Alaska’s Leading Lady, our ex-Governor Sarah Palin. Then that traitor in our midst, Sean Parnell, helped get rid of ACES and gave the $Billions we were getting as our clear and equitable share of oil taxes, to the oil companies. We need her back to lead us forward. Come back Sarah Palin to Alaska, your home. Come fill our coffers again, with $Billions as you formerly did, when you gave us ACES, before you were driven out of here, by the Dirty Bastards, who so hate your guts. They hate our guts too and will gladly shear us and leave us stand naked in ice and snow. We need you again to subvert those treacherous Bastards. They will totally ignore the laws already enacted, avoid putting the matter to the people and raid our fund. They will not contain their spending within the limits already allowed by the fund.
ALASKA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE VIII – NATURAL RESOURCES
Section 1. Statement of Policy. It is the policy of the State to encourage the settlement of its land and the development of its resources by making them available for maximum use consistent with the public interest.
Section 2. General Authority. The legislature shall provide for the utilisation, development, and conservation of all natural resources belonging to the State, including land and waters, for the maximum benefit of its people.
All monies produced from our Natural Resources belongs to the State of Alaska. Therefore the legislature shall provide for the utilisation, development, and conservation of all natural resources belonging to the State, including land and waters, for the maximum benefit of its people.
The Permanent Fund does not belong to our State Government. It belongs to the People of Alaska State. All this propaganda babble is just that. Babble. We The People, can of course, lend money from the Fund to the State against receipt of Non-Redeemable, Tax-Free State Bonds @ let’s say 10%. These bonds could be issued to the Permanent Fund Corporation who could hold them on behalf of a citizen or they could distribute them to each citizen, who can then sell them on the bond market if desired. Once sold however, they would become immediately taxable as income via the IRS.
Borrowing fund monies can and must be done at commercial rates beneficial to the Fund.
Herr Kaufman is correct, in that small cuts in the budget are not going to make any difference to our state expenditures. So then, Privatise Education. Wow. Have you got the guts to face the music? Privatise the city police forces. Privatise the fire brigades. Privatise our jail system. It is way past time to get rid of SB21 and bring back our ACES form of taxation on oil. It is time to get rid of all Oil Tax Credits. The privatisation of services will eliminate the need for much of our taxes.
No pressure should ever be brought to bear by any government officials upon the Permanent Fund Trustees to buy or sell any investments. The Trustees need to be able to act totally independent of government interference to make good financial decisions.
It’s no secret that most of the politicians in Juneau look longingly at the Alaska Permanent Fund to solve the current budget crisis. The reality is that politicians whose election campaigns are paid for by the wealthy few don’t represent the folks for whom the PFD is such an important, even critical part of a family budget. Thank you, Governor Hammond. Our Governor now needs to obey our Alaska Constitution and the people of Alaska who have already voted by an almost 84% vote on this PFD matter in 1999. Gov. Jay Hammond wanted a dividend. Defending that dividend means defending the fund. The Fund can lend the State money against 10% tax-free Non-Redeemable AK state bonds. Most of us have to pay much more than 10% ON OUR CREDIT CARDS. If the State wishes to spend money it does not have, then it too like unto us, should have to pay for the privilege. Yes, Governor, let’s all pull together, but let’s not destroy the People’s, Fund. We the people will gladly lend you money to keep you financially viable against the security of AK State Bonds @ 10% interest, non-redeemable. All you have to do is make a profit by charging for your services and pay the interest due on the bonded loan from our PPFD. Fellow Alaskans, rally round and roar at the robbers who would raid our Stash of Cash.
