And I'm all for Miller getting elected if he sticks by his promise. I think it would be great for Alaska to get back what they put in for a change (instead of taking back twice what they put in). Would mean states like mine wouldn't continue to have to support states like theirs.

Isn't the whole point of the federal government to centralize, try to make things more equal?
Is complaining about how much money your state has to put in vs. others that much different than complaining that your state has to recognize fundamental rights that it doesn't want to (i.e., someone from the south saying that if they want to segregate, they should segregate)? Seems like the same argument.
