lurch 0 #4 June 27, 2003 New Hampshire is awesome place to live. 96% of the state is mountains and trees. The other 4% is either water, rural, or medium to small urban. We have authentic , real, homestyle just like grandma used to make clean air here, not too bad even in the cities We even have clean water now. There's real fish in our rivers again No state income tax. No state sales tax. (politicians keep trying to get NH to accept one, "For the children!" Yeah, sure. right. It keeps getting shot down. We're not buying that line here.) No adult seat belt law. (Under 18, though, belt em.) No motorcycle helmet law. No mandatory insurance law No firearm registration law or waiting period Excellent roads/highways Live Free Or Die on our license plates And somehow they manage all this without taking 2/3 of your income in taxes. Nearby states, (cough cough) could take a hint? New Hampshire has just one huge glaring flaw: No dropzones...But there's one 2 Minutes south of the Mass border, 15 minutes from home, so its all good.Live and learn... or die, and teach by example.

2fat2fly 0 #6 June 27, 2003 Quote South Carolina: Remember The Civil War? We Didn't Actually Surrender People around here make a big deal out of the fact that even when SC signed the "return to the Union" permission slip, the county that I live in refused to ratify it. I've been trying for 15 years to turn that into a justification to not pay federal taxes-not having much luckI am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lurch 0 #13 June 27, 2003 Dunno....depends on whether or not they join the bandwagon of insistent persistent pols trying to stuff an income tax down our throats. They keep trying, over and over again, rephrasing it a bit each time trying to make it sound appealing and attractive, the solution to all our education funding problems. You want to grant yourself the right to help yourself to another 5% of my paycheck to pay for someone else's crack whore welfare baby going to a school he'll drop out of anyway? Um, fuck no. You breed em, YOU feed em. Ever notice how once you let them get it passed, there's a million and one reasons to keep it on the books or expand it somehow...in 5 years it'd be 7%, in 10 years it'd be 12%...and the landscape would start looking a bit ratty as people get poorer and the money bleeds away into pols' pockets and campaign funds. Fortunately defiance and common sense still have some strength here. No matter how you try to convince me that surrendering more money will somehow save me money, I ain't buying it and apparently neither is enough of the population of the state. We have greed and corruption here too, but it does not yet rule the system. This is a randomly generated troll rant, sick of hearing about how so sorry but we really need to take that chunk of your paycheck, its for a good cause and we're sure you can get by just fine without it so if you don't mind we'll make it a law says you have to give it to us....we just have to make you pay "your fair share" of your neighbors kids, and their neighbors, and... like locusts.
