I don't know if some of you guys realize this or not, but Alaska does have a windfall profits tax and in fact, citizens of Alaska recieved a $1,200 check on top of their normal $2,000 check for oil sales.
It is a tax, and yes, the citizens of Alaska are recieving money from it to offset the rising fuel costs.

George we agree on so many things. Now let's expand our thinking a little. We need more nuclear. We need wind power. We need solar. We need oil from shale. We had better get our butts in gear and drill like there's no tomorrow. If there's a creek with water flowing through it we better throw up a hydroelectric dam. Our leaders need to start thinking outside their damn wallets and do something to secure our prices and energy independence.To err is human, To forgive divine and at times I am as much of both as you will ever find

They were right. I voted for Hillary Clinton and got a president that is emotional, impulsive, and unpredictable.
I'm not saying you're stupid. I'm saying you have bad luck when it comes to thinking.

Originally posted by ScareCrow57 View PostIt's not a tax. The stat of Alaska sells it 's oil rights to the oil companies. Just like you sell your services to your employer. Just like the farmer sells his goods. In this case, the state gets paid to let the oil companies take the oil.They told me if I voted for Hillary Clinton the president would be emotional, impulsive, and unpredictable. They were right.

People keep asking what the fella has done and all that greets them is: silence; deep, brooding, empty....silence.

The silence is deafening concerning Obama's record on accomplishments.01.20.13

You keep grasping at straws. Remember, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Look man, like it or not Alaska has a windfall profits tax, it's in black and white, it's seperate from their oil sales, and it's making the State of Alaska some pretty good money. Good enough money for the citizens to recieve a check. Every citizen an equal amount, as opposed to this citizen X amount, that citizen Y amount, because one owns a 9,000 sq. ft. home and the other a 1,200.
Personally, I don't think what Alaska is raking in is making that huge of an impact on the price of gas (if any), as the majority of our oil is coming from somewhere in the middle east.
But that doesn't change the fact that there is a windfall profits tax.
