I live in Texas with an area of 250k mi^2. What this means is that families and work are more spread out and hence it takes more gas on average for an individual to do the same things that it costs people in smaller countries. So you can compare your prices with ours all you want but its an invalid comparsion. (essentially what it means is we paid as much as you then many people couldn't even afford to go to work much less do much of anything else). Its true that many americans waste a lot of gas but the majority of gas used in the industry. We also have developed a larger infrastructure to support the lower prices. (think of supply and demand) There are also many other reasons for lower gas prices as it supports growth. If you are going to compare our gas prices with yours then at least do it intelligently. Its much more complicated than you make it out to be. |

Off my rant now, Mike wait a minute, our local government is trying to push through side walk tax. if it goes through, every resident in this city will be getting a tax bill for side walk maintenance except those that are the on local local assistant programs. ( and they're many!) This came up in lo of many residents here now walking and using bicycle's and not having that extra car any more. Also, they are trying to push through a bill to force any one that purchases a bicycle of 24" frame or larger, or get one of those scooters that are under 50 CC that requires no registration to pay a yearly USE tax. Don't that just bite the bullet. We'll see just how far that goes. the biggest problem we have in this area is far to many free programs given to those that have absolutely nothing wrong with them. Not only that. A good many free loaders have moved out from other remote locations to take advantage of the free programs this city gives out and thus has been forcing those that work and own property to sell (if they can) and get out.

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany Come on, Spehro, you know the UK is perfect... why do you think Eeyore brays all the time ?:-) Of course Eeyore doesn't pay taxes. He lives under a bridge, and steals internet access to brag about it. Everyone knows there is no personal property tax on public structures. -- Service to my country?

The Nazi party never had a majority. A large minority yes, but not a
majority. More important was Hitler's appointment as chencellor. Tim -- Deep Fryer: A very philosophical monk. Website @ http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/tmoranwms "Stephen J.

Well, in my own case, in the next election, it's the only meaningful protest against the slide into facism. Don't forget that Hitler was *elected.* I used to vote Libertarian, but in the American winner-take-all system, that amounts to a wasted vote. Of course, given the present state of the Democratic party, it amounts to "Would you rather be hanged or shot?" |

Yeah, even that would be a small down payment on the cost of the US military intervention that inevitably will be needed to secure the middle east oil producers such as Saudi Arabia. After the US withdraws from Iraq, in failure, the whole region is going up in flames. He's also partner to a proposal to do away with the mortgage interest deduction on your house if its size is above 3000 sq.ft. Right, that's another good move. Those particular owners do not pay a proportionate fair share of the infrastructural support subsidized by government entities. Oh, really? I pay around $8K per year in property taxes. Is that not "proportionate", or do you think you have a right to STEAL even more? STEAL is the appropriate word to use when referring to Republican party controlled government. Now if you had a more humane and progressive Democrat control, they are known to roll off property taxes for the elderly. It makes very good sense to eliminate the tax deductions in that case. Bwahahahahaha! Democrats are their own worst enemies. ...Jim Thompson You're out of touch with reality, but then living in a hell hole like Phoenix, Arizona, It REALLY is a hell hole. Everyone is advised to stay well away from here ;-) You know it, visiting that place was like dying and going to hell. Maybe I missed something, but the whole socio-cultural aura seemed to be somewhere in the range of vacuous to non-existent, and the people were so...err...uncomplicated:-) |

( and they're many!) Some of the earliest documents surviving from colonial America are the Book(s) of Roads, some dating back nearly 400 years. These were records of road maintenance responsibility assigned to various land owners by whose property the roads passed. The labor was not compensated, it was considered a civic responsibility at the time. |
