Quote:that Alaskan citizens do not pay any state taxes; instead every person over the age of 6 months receives an oil dividend check of about $1000 per year.
State-wide, pretty much, though there are still some local taxes (sales, property). The Permanent Fund Dividend is true (varies each year), though you must have been a resident of Alaska for a year and intend to remain in Alaska "indefinitely" (can't claim residency elsewhere, can't be absent from the state for over 180 days without good reason).
Very true. In fact, Alaskan's look forward to this payment every year, much like an annual Federal Income Tax Return. (Which we also get.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund
Also, Child Support Division has the right to garnish both.
