I heard a tape of this last evening and it literally sounded like Rush had lost his mind. He was all over the map; something about the State of New York being after him. I am assuming since he works some times in New York, the taxman up there wants good ole Rush to pay some state taxes. Does anyone know what is going on with him? He literally sounded insane.
Rush is NOT insane...if you were a long time listener...you would know that Rush is VERY sane...and Rush is right.
A lot of people feel like Rush around April 15.
He didn't sound insane to me. Just angry and fired up.
Rush was way too angry. We are all entitled to be angry at times, but he was over the top. I was concerned about him.
I would say it is a good bet that the State of NY is looking for some money. Residency can be a tricky thing. I hope, and I am fairly certain, that Rush can document where he spends most of his time...and hopefully it is outside of New York.
What Rush needs to do is find a way to move all of his operations out of New York, that would be one way to tell NY to F-off.
Michael Savage sounds like this every day. And Savage is not insane. He's right on the money, and frustrated. Maybe Rush listened to Savage?
I read the other day where New York had,or is,taxing out of state workers,like telecommuters.I guess Rush now has to pay state tax to New York when he's in Florida as well as in New York.
Those of us who work 60 hours or more a week and have to deal with NY tax issues don't have the advantage of high priced lawyers and accountants to fend for us.
He needs to do two things.
1. Get out of New York,particularly New York City.
2. Get out of Palm Beach County.
If I owned New York City and Hell, I would live in Hell and rent New York City.
Rush was just saying what most of us are thinking, and he's obviously very frustrated with the idiotic ways of our politicians. And of course he's right. There are absolutely no Republicans in office who are as rabid as Teddy K., Nancy Pelosi, Bob Wexler (from Florida), or even Hillary, so our word doesn't get out. And it's left to Rush to get that message out, since our elected Republicans are such wimps.
And I'm sure hell will freeze over before Bill Frist initiates anything to do with the "nuclear" option. And I bet we don't see Republicans defending Tom Delay, and asking that the focus be turned toward the DEMOCRATS who have spent more in travel $.
Rush didn't sound like he was insane or burning out. He is saying he is FED UP with the spinless excuses who are too damned afraid to do what is right. I feel the same way as Rush. He is right. I wonder even if we need any of these people to represent the states anymore. We have the internet and we could get everything we need from there. These people are riding the fat cow and using money they have no right to use in taking all these senseless trips. Rush is right. As for NY...who knows what he is referriing to but he does and it is none of our business if it is personal.
I have been a fan of Rush since the beginning and have always trusted him to the enth degree and he has ALWAYS said what was on his mind and has ALWAYS put the USA first and foremost.
If he is doing some ranting I say "good for him." He is entitled. He's saved the bacon of this country. Without Rush we would be overrun with socialists. He has spoken out when others were afraid. I hope he continues to take off on some of the spinless wonders who get paid so much to do so little. He's right and I know it and so does everyone else.
I for one will stand tall with him until the last breath. He is a good and brilliant man and we are darned lucky to have him there telling us what is really going on and not the venemous lies and fabrications one gets from most of the other shows and the networks.
Rush is the man and always will be.
Many people are seeing the bottom line on their tax returns and writing checks to the IRS this week. I don't blame Rush for being angry. He's paying the leaches in NY a big chunk of change, too.
An article was posted a while back about a programmer in Tennessee. He lived and worked in Tennessee, but the company he did the programming work for was in New York City.
His argument was that he rarely set foot in NYC, so shouldn’t have to pay New York State or New York City taxes - or at very most should only have to pay taxes on the money made on the rare occasion that he was actually IN New York working. It went to court and he lost – he has to pay New York City/State taxes on ALL $ made from that employer even though he never physically spent much time there.
Probably something similar in Rush’s case. IOW, they may not be interested in income just when he’s in New York – they may want a chunk of ALL of it.
Really? Maybe it was the other way around.
I thought he was quite focused and right on the money - and I have been a daily 3-hour listener for almost 15 years. I couldn't have agreed with him more.
