Just when you thought the economy had enough issues.....

MEH....yes and no.  I actually think Bush has done a less than impressive job as president and that his predecessor was MUCH better, especially on the home front.  Neither one had good policies as far as foreign policy is concerned IMHO.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but everything bought from legitimate stores on the internet should have been taxed anyway.

To either the state you bought it in or the state you live in.  Because most states charge sales tax.

are you sure about that?

think again!

in the past five years i worked in four states..

2003-2004 New York $44000.00+ a year for 38-42 hours in 5 days a week..

early 2004 in massachusetts $29000.00 a year for 40 hours in a 5 day week


late 2004-early 2005 in rhode island $20800.00 a year for 40 hours in a 5 day week..

and jobless till 11/2005 refuse to work for free

moved to florida in 10/2005

in 11/2005 i started at hughes supply for $12.00 an hour= 24960.00 a year.for 40 hours in a 5 day week..
in two and a half years i got a total of an .85 cent raise.. .42 the first year and .43 the next year..
and can't leave the job.. i have had meny offers. but all the offers where for like $9.00 an hour to drive a 20 ton truck.. right! i'll pass which was offered to me about 30 times..
after the 10th time i started to be a wise a$$ and said your not hiring! they allways reply i just offered you a job! ok so whats the pay? about $9.00 an hour.. like i said your not hiring!

a lot of states are right to work.. some are listed as such and some are not.. untill you get there and they tell you so..

and the right to work laws are written where most people won't understand what the laws really mean..

what it really means is you don't have the right to work it's a privilege.. like getting your drivers licence..

especially in the deep south.. where labor is cheap.. i won't say what had bin quoted to me meny times .. in will get nasty..

anyway it cost me about $20000.00 a year to live here and everyone down here thinks it's cheaper to live here then NY. i laugh at that..

i make about $25000.00 a year after taxes and my part of the medical insurance i take home about $15000.00

if i could move back to NY tomorrow i would!

i would make about $52000.00+ minus taxes about $36000.00

and about $22000.00 a year to live = $14000.00 left for the year..


in florida  thats![SIZE="7"]-[/SIZE]$5000.00 not [SIZE="7"]+[/SIZE]$5000.00

you do the math!

don't do what i did and move because you pecker told you to do so.. the first move i made! or someone said it's better where they are.. the second move i made.. without doing the research..

i would rather sit in traffic ie NY and know that my bills are payed and have money left over of the things i like to do..

then have great weather and no traffic and know that could and i said "could" go anywhere or do anything i wanted if i only had money to do so!!!

my mom asks me sometimes why it seems like i'm not all with it..

i say well i'm so poor i can't even pay attention

so deal with it! you told me to move here!
that will be the last time she will ever tell me what to do!

if i ever take a trip back to NY it will to get my job back!

so don't jump to quick to leave NY unless you like working for FREE!

sorry about the rabbling again:(

It's about cost of living.  What is your mortgage payment in Florida vs NY?  What are your property taxes in each state?

Yeah I hear ya alright and probably I'll change later. I'm a car nut kid so my entire thought process is I wanna drive my cars all the time and spend all my nights standing in parking lots shooting the shiznit and I hate winter its depressing and boring and I hate being inside and I hate the politics of this state and the taxes and the bs that goes with that and the thruway tolls that were supposed to be eliminated YEARS AGO and theres so much &^*#ing traffic sometimes can't go 80 up the Northway and fireworks are illegal!!!!!!! :mad:
 
:laughing: yeah I'm focused on the important things in life thats for  sure. :laughing:

:laughing: :laughing: :rollin:

haha tolls? and you don't thing other states do the same? if you get on the turnpike it's .25 cents and if you want to get off at the next exit which is about 4 miles away it's another .50 cents lol try going the whole 300+ miles to the last exit.. alot of countys down here are in florida are trying to get a law pasted that if you
call the fire department or an ambulance you would have to pay a fee.. and just like rhode island if you get a fine ie tickit or had a police report made for or against you guilty or not.. you have to pay the court costs.. and if you licence is out of date meaning wrong address or whatever. it's a felony.one thing that was changed this year that i thought was insane..you only need florida required insurance which ment you had to pay insurance an amount just to have the right to register a car about $900.00 for 6 months  and covers nothing 
in other words if you had an accident and someone got carted away in an ambulance your licence would be suspended untill the case was closed ie right or wrong and or any lawsutes.. and if you had an accident and someone died you go right to jail! untill the same i stated above



need i go on?

NY -- property taxes after STAR and military discounts.....$6600 for 2008.

Tolls are bad everywhere.  Google "private toll roads"
You'll see how bad it can be down south and out west.

Well all I'm going by is the fact that my mom rants about it all the time and they jack em up every year, and apparently it was well-publicized back when I was too little to know anything other than looney tunes that they would be extinct in a few short years or something. Oh well. I'm almost never on the toll roads so technically I shouldnt bitch and complain but ya know its the principle.

Yeah, they want to toll existing roads in Texas because previous tax money gathered for upkeep and expansion was already spent.  Then let a private firm run the tolling operation.

Idiots.
