This makes me sad. Fortunately, I don't make very much money, so there's not much for them to take!

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

Check this out, I'm at H&R Block last week at lunch time (one of my colleagues had to drop off something for his taxes), they were talking about Alaska. Evidently, come taxtime, EVERYBODY in Alaska gets paid 10 Gs! Its their dividend from the Oil Reserves or something like that. Its kind of offset by the cost of living though - $5 for a carton of eggs. . .

Anybody else ever hear of this?

What area of the state are you from Leftbrain?



I stole this from somewhere

This is certainly not a new concept for managing the natural resources of a country. Nearly every Alaska resident received $1,017 check in 2003 as their share of the state's oil riches (a $433 drop from last year's payout and an $857 decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in 2000). The dividend checks are distributed every year from an oil royalty account called the Alaska Permanent Fund, created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope; almost 600,000 people received a dividend in 2003.
