States Tax us to Death ! (82)
Ambrose2007: But that figure includes Tahoe's sales tax, right? Is CA's base sales tax really that high, now??
They are now. It was that way in the Bay Area for many years because of the added sales take to support BART...------ This thread is Archived ------
BebeII: Not to mention the ageing hippie moonbats who still haven't mastered BASIC math.
Not sure what you mean by thatstatement. Older people do loose some abilities but the younger generation seems to be more willing to spend moneys and accumulate debt. I think most of the personal wealth is with the older folks even with the current economy as it is. That just my opinion as I didn't research it.------ This thread is Archived ------
Zeelander: My thoughts have always been.... If the Dems like raising taxes so much, let them pay the taxes. It would be such a simple law. States can just go by how the people voted.
And, we can tax you repubs for the mess your buddies led us into for the past 8 years - sound fair to you ?

Would that be the mess created by the Dems in charge of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Or the mess created by the Dems in the current administration that were cheating on their taxes?

You're right of course ....... Bush and Cheney and their decisions to start two wars had nothing to do with it..
And, that moron Obama , he's gotta take responsibility for this mess too ..............

And the complete and purposeful lack of regulation by Bush and Cheney in the mortgage, financial and banking businesses ......... that's Obama's fault too ......

I am always surprise by everyone blaming the President past or present for the way things are. He doesn't have that much power with our Checks and Balances type of Government. In order for him to do things the House and Senate need to be going along. Yeah pork-barrel polotics runs ramped... I see large highways here in TN that serve small populations. In CA large Corporations get water almost for free to farm the valley with. All of that is our money going to benefit who??? We have so called Green people wasting our moneys on frivolous BS. We also see the conditions of Banks, Insurance Companies and Auto Industries. These were all regulated industries. So where it the so called Regulators accountability here. The auto industry was in the tank since the early 70 they didn't improve like they should have. They did the minimum although all the decision makers made BIG $$$ they were still losing market shares and getting Large bonuses. Banks and Insurance companies were deregulated and their profits increased as people were willing to pay for BS bank charges like ATM,Check returns and super low interest on savings and checking accounts, super high rates for charge cards and so on. What have they done to encourage good management of your $$$... NOT A DAMN THING. There are no incentive to increase savings or for showing good fiscal responsibility. They do not give you special treatment if you pay your bills off in time. It can actually hurt you because they dont make money on you like they do with people who carry balances. Its the tail wagging the dog and everyone of us are to blame for allowing it by participation.
