I can understand that one... I expect it still going up here.

>>> With a population base that you have, high tax rates shouldnt be..

Heh... I don't know that "everybody" can afford the taxes in NYS.   I believe
a lot of people are moving to FLA.... We were in FLA. for various computer
conferences, and BOY do they have some big ones there <grin>.. If they can
afford the move-back, X-NYers will probably stay until they find there's no
winter-kill that wipes out the insects.. that or until the next hurricane comes
along that wipes their town off the map. Rough to live with I figure but people
do what they have to do...

My sister's family (the one that died of pancreatic cancer) still lives in
Hollywood, very happily..  I guess like anywhere else, it's what you are
willing to 'live with'.

ouch.. these were separate taxes, but they didn't call them taxes <bg>

>>> But taxes get you liberals sexually excited.. :)

>> haha, no thanks, I get my kicks umm.. other ways :)

> That brought to mind the butt-rumping they do over taxes in New Jerkey...

Hey, I was born in NY.. Passaic ... tread lightly there <grin>  Still have
relatives in Bergen and other counties <g>

Take care,
Janis
