What is the Almighty State about now? Streets of my city are full of potholes, but state taxes, sales taxes and property taxes are at their all time high. Where does the money go? There used to be state services, well stocked libraries, good schools, and now? Like you, I suspect that the taxes go to overpaid state workers (yes they are predominantly black here, and predominantly or certainly behind the wheels of Lexuses and Mercedeses), as Obama is not the only symptom of the white man’s guilt, and they go toward services for the so called poor, but not the really poor, the unaccounted poor, whom you see pushing stolen shopping carts on city streets filled with their possessions and empty cans and bottles.
That’s good. That’s why after 2 decades here we are loading up the RV and leaving after selling everything we don’t haul.
My wife and I will spend out golden years traveling no matter what the price of gas. After 40 years together, she deserves that much from me.
