Jay, We, down here in the states pay a lot as well. The best one I've seen in recent times was the "temporary" tax increase in SF due to the '89 earthquake. It gave the benevolent government a reason to raise the sales tax to 8.25% for just a little while. It's nearly 2001 and that 8.25% ain't going anywhere. Another one is the hidden city tax called "parking violation". You have never seen a government function run as efficiently as the traffic enforcement division in SF. I read a stat a while back that said SF receives more money each year in parking violation fines than they collect in city taxes. Good one huh. KB

Nothing you've said can accepted as true. It is far more important to make sure the greedy capitalist pigs pay their fair share than it is to allow a few cents to trickle down.
