Given the further shift in power the dems can pass this. They can even override a veto at this point.

Here's my prediction. You'll love it.

There'll definitely be some sweat but it'll be worth it. I got stuck staring at your avatar for 5 mins or I'd have replied sooner.

'Yeah but compare income tax rates and I'm sure you'd rather pay more for gas. I'll,give you a hint, only CA has a higher top rate.

We don't want everyone, just folks like those on this web site. I didn't post anything on www.liberaldouchebagsforum.com/forums. I sent them a nice article about life in sunny Southern California. I said you'll love it, the cost of living is high, there's a huge illegal immigration problem. It'll be just like home but now enjoy many days of warm sun shine instead of harsh winters.

Very nice but So Carolina is more southern than Florida. The poverty rate is also higher.

If it's close by and you need a partner let me know.

My co-conspirator. BTW was at gun gallery. They do a two gun match and invited me. You should check it out. Really nice guys.

It was. I meant well over 30. 37,1xx / year. I have friends that pay in the 60s.

I'm realistic.

Some people were including me. There was a storm last night so it was a bit chillier than normal--about 68 according to one of the life guards. It only gets to 84 in July. Also, it's a work day and there were only a handful of people on the beach.

Thanks and I didn't need a p2p to purchase it.

I knew you'd feel that way that's why I said it.

OK, I can't argue that one. And AZ is the most gun friendly state in the nation. However, where exactly is the ocean?

Amelia Island hasn't had a hurricane make landfall since 1964 (knock on wood). How have we done in NJ over the last 5 years? Irene, Sandy? How about that Noreaster snow storm in mid-Feb?

Let's address these as I am sure some are location dependent. I've seen no more evidence of fire ants and roaches here than in NJ. I have fire ants on my patio around my pool in NJ on occasion. I am yet to experience them here. The food I find to be the same and utilities I have noticed much of a difference. Fuel, which may effect utilities is more, NJ is the second cheapest state, behind Alaska, on this one item. It's all based the tax, this is the only low tax in NJ which, given the disrepair of the roads, will go up. Side note, NJ ranks dead last in cost per mile to maintain a road 1mm bucks! Mass is second worst at 667k per mile. NJ is 50 % more than the next worst state. Road funding is completely based off tolls and the gas tax. It'll get there, give it time and the next democrat governor. However, I can fully fund my additional fuel costs with the difference in property taxes when I sell my house. I pay well over 40k in Montville and I pay less than 3k in FL. The top income tax rate in NJ is 8.97%, after a few years under Corzine of being 10.97%, and the democrats lead by Weinberg want to permanently amend the tax code to 10.97% top tax bracket. Guess where NJ ranks on tax friendliness? Last. The University system is on par with NJ. NJ gets great benefit from hosting Princeton, but if you only go public UF ranks much higher than Rutgers. In fact US news ranked UF the same as Penn State at #47. Rutgers ranks 72nd. As for primary education it is highly location dependent. The NJEA will always tell you NJ is #1 (sometimes it is true but not last year), but at what cost? The Abbott funding formula pumps over 6 of the 8.5 billion in school aid into only 31 of the 582 school districts. If you've never heard of the Abbott ruling, the single biggest rip off in tax payer history, google it and be amazed. The primary schools aren't important to me because my kids are college aged. The tawniest suburban districts are net outflow on school aid. However, here is the US News state public education rankings: http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/articles/how-states-compare It shows Florida to be above NJ. I am sure there are others that contradict but US News is considered one of the better sources of information on school rankings. As for health care Florida does rank 41th but NJ only ranks in the next quartile at 33td. Since I still have a home in NJ and NYC I generally use the medical in NYC. I lived in NJ full time for 48 years, and still do part time, and love it there. I'm not dissing at all, the original post was just tongue and cheek for some fun is all, cause I know the weather is bad today. However, you forced me to do some analysis and maybe there's more to it than I thought.

Still a Giants fan.

That's what I was intimating. We may be getting a she devil if we don't get out and vote.

Reasonably priced housing, low property tax, 0 income tax and here's what you do in March. Just got done barbecuing my lunch and I have a pistol packed in my shorts. When I go back in the water I'll stuff it in the glove box. Oh, and on the way home, I'm going to make an unconscionable number of non- necessary deviations.

They're awesome but big bucks.

I bought it online from Wilson and had it shipped to FFL here.

Sorry I was two martinis deep and my comprehension must have been lacking.

SSAE

No offense taken. I'm having some fun with it.

Devil's in the house of the risin' sun. Go Charlie.
