Highline, I have to take Soul Washer's position here. The "catching wild pigs" story is a good one but is a metaphor for people paying earned income to the government in exchange for socialized services.

Alaska sold a natural resource that wasn't taken from anyone (like your hard earned money), to private businesses. Instead of the local government squandering the revenue on pork initiatives, they promised a fund that would pay dividends to Alaskans.

The local Alaskan government did very well by their people, IMO.

Soul Washer - I'll have to do more research into what you've posted.
