Say it any way you want but both my kids make way more than me due at least in part to a wonderful college education partly funded by other people's lottery tickets. I get a smile every time I think about it. The other stuff, taxes etc., would happen anyway, unless I moved to the other side of the world.

Did you ever wonder how people went to college 20 years ago, before the interstate underclass rip off became legal??

Do you remember when the sales tax was going to be "only" 2% and be for the good of the children, and old folks, don't forget the old folks!!

How about when that bridge and road toll was only temporary??

I was there dude. Got my bachelor's in 1969 and worked nights in a gas station and pizza parlor to pay for my room and board/books(about $400 a semester). My folks could only afford the tuition,($110). I wouldn't allow my kids to work. I wanted them to spend 100% of their energy on studies. Fortunately they did exactly that and came out of college well prepared for a prosperous life ahead.

I always had sales tax, at least 3% I think.

GA400 in Atlanta comes to mind. They just tore down the toll booths last year. Seriously, no more toll because the road was paid off.

1) What is it now??

In Delaware there is none, there is still none but there are 3 casinos all ripping off the hard working citizens.

There used to be two auto plants there, both closed (GM and Chrysler)

Of course, the Banksters are taken care of....

2) That should be National News!!

Our tolls were reduced after Larry Hogan was elected in Maryland

I remember when the Harbor tunnels were $1. I was in high school, and we thought it was funny to pay in pennies.

I also remember when the Maryland sales tax rate jumped from 5% to 6%, which I think was either shortly before or after I moved to NYC... where the sales tax rate was nearly 10%. Forget about Chicago...

The political machine said was "only" a 1% increase.

Um, that's a 20% increase!!

What????? We old folks still have to pay the tax just like everyone else and I don't see any benefits that we get that don't apply to everyone else.

I believe 'Naive' is an adjectival noun, not a typo. Unfortunately the sarcasm here was missed by some.
