This Week's Column| Middle-income #AKfams are already struggling per United Way's ALICE study. PFD cuts are a significant contributor. Adding more spending, paid for by even deeper PFD cuts, would make it worse. #akleg https://bgkeithley.substack.com/p/the-friday-column-the-alice-report

This week's Top 3| Alaska is running a current law deficit even at $100 oil; the key is a comprehensive fiscal plan & a "sustainable PFD" is political code for deep stealth taxes on middle-income #AKfams. #akleg T'row, 6:05a on The Michael Dukes Show at https://www.facebook.com/share/1HRbbG9JRF/

New IRS data (2023): Alaska’s overall average FIT leakage is just 12.6%, and only 7.5% for middle-income #AKfams. Both are well below the gains in #NonRez revenues from a broad-based tax. Claims that PFDs result in net state revenue leakage are hokum.

As the charts demonstrate, the first approach spreads the burden proportionately among all #AKfams. The second, third & fourth are increasingly regressive, taking more from 80% of #AKfams than the first approach.

The knee-jerk response of many #akleg: we need more gov't services (K-12, child care, etc).

Our response: #WhoPays?

Theirs: PFD cuts.

Ours: Ah, the death spiral. Killing the patient (by reducing the income of middle-income #AKfams even more) to "save" them.
