OT: I HATE NEW YORK

I can feel your pain Tim.........I make just enough money now that between the damage done during the first marriage, and the child support, I am only getting about 53% of my paycheck to take home nowadays........................And I do not make that much money , in my opinion. When will the government quit paying people to be irresponsible, and taking the money to pay for it from those who are?

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News

......................When the last kid leaves for college in four years, we might just do that. But where?...........My health (allergies & respiratory problems) doesn't do very well in a southern climate, especially during the summer months. Also, the local news story that I saw said that there are eighteen other states that are planning to cash in on internet sales tax revenues as soon as they can tell whether it's profitable and worthwhile for the Peoples Republic of New York.

BTW............I always liked that "Live Free or Die" motto that's on the state flag for New Hampshire.

Tim you should move to Montana... no sales tax, wide open spaces, and no

*real* speed limit :o) Plus you could come up to B.C. for the occasional steak dinner (BBQ's always ready) ;o) G

....................hmm.....steak..............The kids would never find us out there.

Hey Tim all I can tell you is I took the advice of a great philosopher

"GET A U-HAUL" Sam Kenison

As I told you before, you americans are way overregulated (and overtaxed). Everyday I understand more clearly why movie stars, artists, millionaries and famous people of all sorts invest in this forgoten small island.

You are always welcome here Tim, no taxes, summer all year long, beautiful beaches, beautiful women, and everything is cheap. The only drawback is that you are need to learn how to drive again. Transit is a jungle here.

North Carolina has had a `consumer use tax' for a few years now to squeeze us for sales taxes on out of state purchases.

don't you find it kinda "funny" that the state you live in wants you to pay state sales tax on something bought in another state?...i would rather(and would be willing to ) pay sales tax in the state that i bought stuff from....if i order from AC.net and had to pay utah tax, no problem, if i order from cb performance and have to pay cali sales tax, well i can see that too, but to pay virginia a "sales tax" on products i bought from another state? i think not....

Here's the explanation for the NC tax:

The tax form has two separate worksheets. One for use if you have all records of out-of-state purchases and one if you have no records. If you have the records you pay the 7% state sales tax on the actual amount purchased. If you have no records the tax is based on your taxable income. I never remember to keep the records, so for me it works out that they tax me as if I'd bought $500 worth of out-of-state stuff. Sometimes I buy that much or more per year, sometimes not ... so I guess it may even out in the long run.

They come here because they have more to loose in taxes. Actually, life here doesn't cost much.

If it overheats then just throw it away, you don't need it here...If you bring your snowblower here you can be locked up in a sanatory.

I think it's nice how they give you alternatives like that. ;)

That might be a good idea too ;)

Yes, but in Utah, you are expected to make up the difference on out of state purchases. For example, if I bought something in Alabama which has (or had when I lived there) a 4% sales tax, I would be expected to pay an extra 2% to Utah since the state sales tax is 6%. Why, you ask? I have no earthly idea. On the other hand, if I bought something in NY (I think someone said their sales tax is 7%), do I get the 1% back? Not on your life.

Utah has had the 'use tax' for quite a long time, and I am surprised to hear that NY just barely came up with it. Just don't claim anything; the state tax commission admits that they will never know and can never find out anyway.

Where are you located Karls??

Myself and atleast two other friends are slowly considdering making a move, might take a few years, but I will make it happen if I can...

Some places where the weather is actually civilized (note: that means where water is almost always liquid or gas) have climates that are good for people with allergies and other health problems. I'm certain there are resources where you can find out this kind of information...
