What is the speaker's opinion about a lawyer's proposed one third split between the federal, state, and the person doing the actual work and investment? What assumption does the speaker make about the lawyer's own actions?
Where did this lawyer come up with the one third split between the federal, state and the one doing all the work and investing all the money?  Typical lawyer talk, they take their share without doing anything.  It would follow that this lawyer would advocate for Alaska's workers to pay a third in federal taxes, a third in state taxes and only keep a third of their hard work.  Crazy!
