The money you put into these plans are "forced savings" for you so you have some income after you retire. The amounts deducted are percentages based on how much you are paid.

The US Constitution states:
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State.

Alaska lawmakers advance resolution defending Canada and opposing trade restrictions β’ Alaska Beacon
A pending legislative resolution that βhonors Alaska's alliance with Canada" spells out reasons that tariffs would harm Alaska.
Did you know resolutions are not laws or regulations, and they do not set policy. Rather, they express lawmakersβ sentiments, with the intention of influencing policies.
This is Alaska telling Trump they do NOT want his Tarrifs.
