Oh yeah, you Californians have smog checks. I forgot that.

Jerk. But what I'm MOST jealous of Montanans is your freedom to have silencers on your guns! My landlords' cat [most likely] got killed by coyotes. The other day I saw two coyotes just chilling in the field nearby - totally in range of my AR-15. Unfortunately, were I to have shot them, the neighbors would not have been happy because of the noise... Grr...

I don't mind a sales tax it's better then an income tax as it applies more broadly.

I would certainly rather have a sales tax than an income tax. Or worse, be like one of the states that has both!

Our state income tax isn't bad. If I spent $4,000 a year in WA the sales tax would about equal my state income tax.

My hurt foots.

Subject: Re: Random Ramblings Mon Jan 12, 2015 9:16 pm

My foot hurts! No, really!

I went to a pediatrist today because of this sore with a callus on top of it. I had gotten a piece of glass in it back in October. I thought the swelling was a piece of glass still in there. The Dr. says it is just a wart that has come up due to the break in the skin. They put some acid on it that will kill the wart and draw it out so that it can be properly and permanently removed. Tomorrow, I could see some severe pain with it, but we shall wait and see.

Do you have a high sales tax?
In Western Washington we don't have state income tax but our sales tax is near 10% in some areas (over 10% if renting a car or some other things).

Sales tax here is 13%, split about half and half between provincial and federal government. We also have income tax.

Subject: Re: Random Ramblings Tue Jan 13, 2015 4:56 pm

Tax tax.

No. 5% for the state, plus whatever city tax gets added (1% for where I live)

Subject: Re: Random Ramblings Tue Jan 13, 2015 5:13 pm

We also have very low vehicle registration fees. I pay less than $300 for four vehicles, one of which is less than five years old, while I paid that much for one vehicle in Colorado. On the flip side, we aren't allowed to claim our our vehicle registrations as a deduction on our federal income tax return (or credit, or whatever it is).

I hate cold weather, but some things about this state make the cold bearable.

Subject: Re: Random Ramblings Tue Jan 13, 2015 5:30 pm

Our local sales tax rate is 9.25%. We have no income tax in Tennessee either.

Ugh more demonic attack dreams last night... I kept falling asleep and seeing this demon sitting next to my bed, cradling my head in its arms as I lay there. I would wake up and it would disappear, but only to begin drifting back into sleep while it would materialize again. This happened three or four times last night. I do not feel rested today...
