The great state of Tennessee. Only that it's really not great, it's horrible.

Ok, so, they changed it at the first of the year. 5.5% on food, 7% on everything else. Plus, the individual counties can charge up the 2.75% more if they choose, which most do.

7.5%.
Raising taxes so filthy rich sports fucks can have stadiums that they don't have to pay for themselves can eat it.
We've had plenty of that shit around here.

Texas has no taxes on food items.


girlgun, can you post a picture of yourself paying some sort of tax?

Glice 03.04.2008 04:43 PM

Repeal the corn laws, I says.

Incidentally, I have been saying that about twice a day for the last week. It's my latest 'thing Glice says that makes Glice and Glice only laugh', following 'haven't we?' as a non-meaningful interjection.

Haha. Give me 24 hours?

I ahte the corn subsidy

Monsanto/ADM has over the past 15 years bought out nearly every single independent corn farmer and once they did that, and only then, did they pay their cronies in washington to make it a federally amndated law that all gasoline contain 15% ethanol, which comes (for now) mainly from corn, which Monsanto/ADM own a near monopoly on

ethanol can be made much more efficiently from many other different vegetables, because corn has not that much sugar and is hard to process, but monsanto has made everyone believe that ethanol (which is basically just alcohol/drinking alcohol/grain alcohol) can only be made from corn.


ethanol is better gotten from sugar, sugar cane, sugar beets, etc.

I am jealous Rob, she won't flirt like that with me. I am going to my room and pet my cat. Maybe her scratches can mean love.

Expression and hairstyle achieved via rectally-inserted cattle prod. It's why he hates animals so much now.

try living in europe.... 10 cents on the dollar will be a bargain then.

no sales tax here but value added tax, which can be - for holland - either 6% (food and basic goods) or 19% ("luxury" goods; meaning pretty much every product not strictly necessary for survival).
