Objecting to statements that you make that are factually wrong is only hostile if you consider yourself above being challenged.
There are a thousands of US cities. I don't have a list of what US cities impose an income tax on their residents, but my guess would be the numbers as an overall percentage are quite low. If you say certain Ohio cities have imposed city income taxes on you in the past, I'm not gonna argue with you. But I wouldn't be bragging about it either.
I did not brag about it, and for you to claim I did is intellectually dishonest. Now you say that you are guessing. Perhaps you should have said that earlier, so that everyone would know your points are based on your guesses, not facts. The FACT is that in Ohio, most cities in the large urban counties have income taxes. Another poster indicated that is true in Michigan as well. I won't speak to other states, as unlike you I prefer to have some knowledge on a topic before making statements.
I made a statement based on facts. I never said NYCity was the only city with an income tax.
And I never claimed you said it was the only city. You did claim that it was one of the few that did, and you admitted above that you were guessing, not basing anything on facts.
You are far too careless about the words coming our of your computer to put words in mine or anyone else's.
And as far as your claim that Rudy had no chance, "Methinks thou doth protest too much".
That's a bit convoluted. I enjoy being challenged, but your response to me was not based on any legitimate context of my prior post to you. Truth is, city income taxes aren't the norm. The fact remains, New York is by far the most heavily taxed big city in America. Beyond that, you're being purposely argumentative.
>>>>I did not brag about it, and for you to claim I did is intellectually dishonest.
Its not being intellectually dishonest. With thousands of cities in the USA, very few have income taxes. Those are the facts.
>>>>Perhaps you should have said that earlier, so that everyone would know your points are based on your guesses, not facts.
Educated guesses, maybe. The fact remains, that most US cities don't have a city income tax. The fact remains, NYCity does have an income tax and its "remains by far the most heavily taxed big city in the country."
>>>>The FACT is that in Ohio, most cities in the large urban counties have income taxes.
Ohio is not the entire USA. Now is it? No.
>>>>You are far too careless about the words coming our of your computer to put words in mine or anyone else's.
LOL I'm not careless about my words. I choose my words wisely. You choose to take exception to one single sentence, so be it. One more time. Most US cities don't have an income tax. You deny that? I sure hope not.
>>>>And as far as your claim that Rudy had no chance, "Methinks thou doth protest too much".
Protest too much? Hardly. I stand by my statement: Rudy has no chance of securing the GOP nomination.
