OT The downside to areas with high taxes is that there tends to be a lot of regulation, in New Jersey it is not legal to cut your own hair! Low tax areas tend to be the opposite, sometimes to a fault. There has to be some sort of middle ground, high enough taxes to have good services, but none of the little nit-picking regulation that kills opportunity. comb I am originally from MN and I think they do a good job of finding the middle ground...in fact, I think generally the states in the Upper Midwest and the Pacific Northwest do a good job of it; however the Upper Midwest has trouble with pop. growth...you freeze your butt off in the winter. Most of the above states have good job growth and a nice standard of living without making their citizens go thru a bunch of changes. ted
