SENATOR “BOUGHT & PAID FOR” JUST ANOTHER DAMNED LIAR

By David G Hanger

The first problem with being owned, Senator Dan “Bought & Paid For” Sullivan is that ‘ere long you cannot see the forest, let alone the trees, because of the self-deception born of your own filthy lies. Be aware that assuming the position of lapdog licking fundamentally distorts reality.

Explain to your audience, Owned One, how opening up ANWR is going to make us all so wealthy? Under the provisions of SB21 the state treasury is currently being raided by the oil industry to the extent of $900 million to $1.2 billion a year in payouts to the oil companies to cover their exploration costs. The state of Alaska collects no tax revenue of any consequence from the oil industry until the price of a barrel of oil exceeds $110 a barrel, so what is very obvious is no matter what is or is not discovered in the way of new oil reserves in ANWR and elsewhere will cost the state treasury and ordinary Alaskans billions of dollars more in these goddamned tax credits.

And not a dime in new taxes to the state.

So how much for this all this new freight you are dumping on us, Fritzer, so that your good old boy buds can get filthy rich at our expense? How much more? Is it $2 billion or $4 billion more annually you intend to bilk the state treasury and us for the greedy carpetbagging pigs you call friends?

I know you are a thief, and I think a whole lot of other folks are about to figure out your game, too. You must think most Alaskans are really stupid, another lapdog licking distortion, I certainly hope.
