Reason #16: As owners of our oil, Alaskans deserve to be compensated fairly for our most valuable resource.


Senate Bill 21 denies Alaskans a fair share of our oil wealth, particularly when industry profits soar. Our prior tax system enabled us to grow our savings to $17 billion.  Under the new system, these savings will likley be drained within the decade.

Reason #14: Under SB 21, the Giveaway, oil production is forecast to decline 40% from today to 2023.


Governor Parnell promised that slashing oil taxes would increase production.  But now his Department of Revenue predicts a 40% production decline from today through 2023. This is a far cry from the million-barrel-a-day goal he set when promoting The Giveaway.
