text: WOW!  I just contact the senators office and boy, are they running on fumes from oil kool-aid!
  
  The oil companies pay us the dividend, according to the senator's staff.  The oil doesn't just crawl out of the ground on its own. I don't remember Exxon or BP being on the dividend, do you? What hogwash!
  
  The staff also said that only 17 states have an income tax.  The true number is 40. 
  
  I look forward to Senator Imhof leaving the state if an income tax passes the legislature, along with many non-residents who work here in the oil industry.
  
  I think I'll put this opinion opt in the trash, just as the senator's staff is doing with my comments to her office.
