text: You know we are in trouble when a whaling captain tells us on TV how important the PFD is to his people , then begs the listener to support taking half it from every man , woman, and child in this state.   It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know Walker needs billions for his dream gas line and democrats need tons of state spending to keep their supporters happy .  There are still tons of state cuts to make .   Everyone knows once the governor and legislators get their hands on new income tax money and our PFD---they will never stop taking that money . Even after oil prices go back up , as they most certainly will.
