I have some friends that are conservative and are constantly complaining about the high tax here in the northeast, but this is the exact stuff I point to when it comes up. You get what you pay for. You couldn’t pay me to move to the south.

    I realized a long time ago that in the South your death might be a political stepping stone to higher office for some Republican asshole. Never live in The South

    Not only do I know that my taxes are going to the betterment of the community, but in the end I actually save money. Not just with the therapy and things my son now gets through school. But the sales tax and property taxes are lower. Plus a my insurance premiums are substantially lower. My home owners insurance when from $12k a year to $2k because people don't want to write insurance for places like Texas anymore.
