And furthermore - were you sleeping during the early years of Free Republic? We were accused of law-breaking on a massive scale, if you'll recall.

How come you associated with pirate riff-raff like us then? ;-)

I'll call the state tax pirates and revenooers exactly what they are: thieves under the color of "law". Your state revenooers rarely let you vote on taxation of any consequence, unless it's a choice of cutting your own throat or wrists.

I'll bet you didn't get a chance to vote on THIS state taxation question in Connecticut, did you? Naw, your (**snicker**) "representative" ran up the Jolly Roger in your name, I'm willing to bet without checking. :-)
