EZ Pass? What ever for? New Hampshire uses the good ole fashioned barter system at the tolls. You can get a week’s pass for a full grown chicken!
My taxes will be the second highest in the state at about $4,500 a year! Fuckers. Multiply that by two because I’m building two units. Although, that’s only for a short time until I’m able to sell one. Plus, they nail you with an improvement tax along with the building permit fee. This again was all doubled for me because I’m building two townhouses. Total get to know you fee: $7,100. Welcome to the neighborhood.
Those nutty Libertarians are starting to make more and more sense every day to my overtaxed ears.
While I agree that 90 percent of Texas needs to be given the heave-ho, we have to find someway to keep Austin in the Union. We like them, they like us, and their town is incredibly unique with tons of character and the best live music scene in the country. It’s a jewel, and despite the state it’s in, the University of Texas is a fine school.
But what’s there to like about Mississippi? Or North Dakota? Nothing. I would put both of them above Texas, which at least has one cool place to offer.
Uhh…you may want to consider keeping North Dakota. The reason we’re highest in Federal benefits? All those big shiny planes that some refer to as “bombers” and “fighter jets”. Oh, and the nuclear weapons.
$4,500 as the second highest in the state? Before the statewide property tax went into effect the property tax for the town I grew up in was $41/$1,000 and it wasn’t the highest, because one town (Derry maybe?) in Rockingham county was up to $48/$1,000. Ain’t being #50 in government funding for education grand?
“He who transplanted, sustains, motherfucker!”
“Manly deeds, womanly words, motherfucker!”
“She flies with her own wings, motherfucker!”
“The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness, motherfucker!”
“Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain, motherfucker!”
“Higher, motherfucker!”
“By and by, motherfucker!”
“Mountaineers are always free, motherfucker!”
Slight hijack - but I believe that the big targets in Wyoming, and where all the money is going is:
F.E. Warren Air Force Base - home of the Nuclear Arsenal
and, to a much lesser extent
Oil and mineral development sites (Mines, refineries, etc)
Major interstates (I-80, I-90); and
Major symbolic targets (Yellowstone, Devils Tower)
The common criticism is that Wyoming and other Rocky Mountain states eat up a large amount of homeland security financing per capita, but the funding isn’t, necessarily, based on population but on target importance.
I lead, motherfucker!
With God all things are possible, motherfucker!
By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty, motherfucker!
I suppose there’s no point wondering which province Canada would vote out.
I say Georgia–there are some weird ass people in GA. Where else do they argue about putting stickers on textbooks that debunk evolution etc? Oh, yeah-the rest of the Bible belt!
And what about that guy and his crematorium who DIDN’T bury those bodies a few years back? Georgia on my mind, I’m telling ya…
But in my heart of hearts–Texas all the way. Go away and buh-bye! See ya, woulnd’t want to be ya etc.
Although I do see a case for Utah. blech (scenery is beautiful, though).
and Oklahoma wouldn’t be missed-we have the musical for land’s sake, what else do we need from there?
