Subject:   Private sector doing just fine?!?!?!?
Date:   6/12/2012 7:56:07 AM

Of course if it comes out of the mouth of TOTUS we know it's either wrong or a lie......in this case it is profound stupidity of an elitist libtard. Some salient stats. 133 million people in the workforce of which about 111 million are in the private sector. Rest work for federal, state and local govt. Unemployment rate in the private sector is around 9%. Unemployment of public sector workers is 4.2%. So the Messiah steps in it again in a desperate bid to launder campaign cash through govt union thugs. It's no wonder so many govt workers in Wisconsin left the unions when they were allowed. Only question is what is wrong with the morons that stayed. And North Dakota voters dropped property taxes despite millions spent by public sector unions to oppose it. America is waking up and realizing how the govt leeches like Hound have been sucking the life out of the productive members of society that actually create wealth.

"And North Dakota voters dropped property taxes despite millions spent by public sector unions to oppose it." Do you go to the same gypsy fortune teller as I do?????? The vote is TODAY in North Dakota and is opposed by more that the libtard socialist unions. North Dakota’s political and business establishment has lined up against the measure including the Chamber of Commerce, farm groups, unions and most elected officials are opposed. N Dakota is unique as it has high tax revenue due to jobs and prosperity generated by an oil boom.

Headline made me think the vote had occurred instead of taking place today. The rest is accurate that public sector unions are spending millions to oppose. Didn't mention the other groups in opposition. So the mistake was mine and the source did not lie.

"Voters ultimately rejected the ballot measure to eliminate the state's property taxes, with a reported 76.5 percent rejecting the proposal and 23.5 percent favoring. However, a measure to change the University of North Dakota's "Fighting Sioux" logo and nickname did pass." Rather surprising how overwhelming the vote was rejecting the proposal to eliminate a tax. I imagine voters did not want to leave it up to the state for all funding for local services including schools. Citizens like home rule.

That outcome was consistent with the polling data leading up to the vote. You would think they could look at Alaska and see a model that works but they did not. Of course, they may also recognize that the Lord giveth an oil boom and the Lord taketh away an oil boom. For sure I would have been in the minority on this one but then again, I just wrote my checks for my quarterly estimated tax payments and I do not accrue for real estate taxes so I know how much they really cost. Did notice you ignored the rest of my original post and I certainly understand why........

My libtard mind only enables me to respond to one topic at a time. So, I addressed the most egregious part of your post first. Trying to multi task is beyond my mental capablity unless it refers to my multi entitlements. As to your comment "Of course if it comes out of the mouth of TOTUS we know it's either wrong or a lie." I would suggest in this case it was, as you would say, a mistake. The private economy is not doing well and that's a fact. Alaska is rather unique with the large oil royalties. "Alaska is the only state in the United States where a large part of the land mass is not subject to a property tax. Although property tax is the primary method of raising revenues for most of the larger municipalities in the state, smaller municipalities favor a sales tax. This is due primarily to the fact that the smaller incorporated areas lack a tax base large enough to support the property tax. The unincorporated areas of the state do not have the legal authority to levy a tax." You need to establish residency in Florida and move your business there and avoid state income tax for your personal income.

Mt business partner fled California for Nevada because of state taxes but he has no children.  As much as I would love to be a resident of FLorida or Tennessee, it is the federal taxes which are killing me.  They are about 10 times more than the state taxes I am paying.  Only way to avoid that is to renounce my citizenship and move to some tax haven.  Not happening so the next best thing is to boot Oblamer and Dems in the Senate so we can enact Clinton's plan to extend the Bush tax cuts......

You are just too damn successful which is one he&& of a problem. You could give more to the church like Romney rather than like Biden and reduce your tax while helping the needy rather than have the government do it. Only problem with TN is when you get old and live off your investments they are taxed. (interest from bonds and notes and dividends from stock). Here is your dream ticket RINOromney and I didn't have sex Clinton in 2012.
