.... Milk has been close to $2/gallon for over a decade now, and yet more
people
throw a big to-do over the gas they put in their vehicles.


Today's newspaper had an article warning that the price of milk was about to
skyrocket because of the cost of fuel to deliver it and the rising cost of
soybeans to feed the cattle.

Neither am I, but I am more concerned that the
food tax for humans be repealed. We are one of
only a few states that tax groceries.
Alcohol and cigarettes are already taxed out the wazoo.


Would I be correct that NC does not have a personal income tax?


Nope. We sure do have a personal income tax.

Well, the amount of hurricane damage over the past decade or so has been
extraordinary even in states that could be expected to be hit. Florida had
no state income tax when I lived there but went wayyy off the deep end on
the sin taxes you described.

Thank you! The 1992 article regarding how the Raleigh area
was the best place to live in the country was the kiss of death.
Now most things that are wrong with this place are related
to too may people moving here.

Although, the NYC writer who said that the criteria
used are based upon what cities DON'T have--such
as high crime rates, pollution, etc. He pointed out that
we also don't have Broadway.

And if gas was say... ten dollars a gallon... would you still be
thinking of taking your 4-wheel drive SUV TRUCK up to the corner store
for that gallon of milk? Of COURSE it will discourage consumption! And
you'd be one of the first ones to gripe, I can assure you...


Assuming gets you in trouble, butt blossom. Don't own an SUV, don't like
'em. Nobody in the family owns anything that gets less than 21mpg -

city.
Fuggoff


It still cost me 10 bucks a week to get where I'm going. How about
you?
I now only need worry that I'm going to get KILLED when one of you
yuppie JERK-OFFS plows into MY FACE with the bumper of one of your big
ugly TANKS... All because you got so much to say on your friggin' CELL
PHONE!


As previously stated - I don't own an SUV. My weekly fuel costs are around
$18 - not bad considering a 44 mile round trip to work 5 days a week. BTW,
fuel tax increases to discourage consumption were tried before without
producing the desired results. You really do have an issue with basic
comprehension, huh?
