Unfortunately, the city of White Plains election seems to be all taken by dems. One independent challenger for mayor had his petition thrown out by the courts because of a mis-understanding about filing date. Call me suspicious but the only other candidate was endorsed by both parties. A big write-in campaign resulted. We'll see how that works out in the next week. http://www.lohud.com/ |

That way, people elect to pay tax when they buy stuff, and imports get dinged just as hard as domestic products. And people have jobs and get paid, so can afford to buy stuff. John |

Sales tax is the way to go. Exempt basics. Eliminate business taxes. That way, people elect to pay tax when they buy stuff, and imports get dinged just as hard as domestic products. And people have jobs and get paid, so can afford to buy stuff. But call it a "purchase" tax, or maybe an "outgo" tax; there seems to be an aversion to the term "sales" taxes. And additional pluses - the bureaucrats will have to pay their "fair share", along with the guys with all the loopholes. Make ten million in "income," and you can hide it. Spend it on a ten million dollar yacht, pay a million (or whatever) in purchase tax. After all, every tax there is ultimately comes out of the pockets of some working stiff - wanna "nail the rich"? Tax their expenditures. Even tax clothing, except for _used_ clothing, like at thrift shops and garage sales. But hey, what's ten bucks tax on a $100.00 suit? ;-) Cheers! Rich |

Bill Bill, I don't get your point, my wife and I have had a lower middle income, we lived frugally and saved our money. I know people that made a lot more money but have a lot less, that's there problem not mine. Why should I check rental prices, I own my home. But I have to keep paying the government, and so do you, if you rent. I'll complain if I want, and thank who or whatever I want. Cash for clunkers; What a stupid idea, made a blip in sales and a downturn after demand was used up, now you have to pay more for a used car cause they destroyed 600,000 cars. Stimulus money; Seems what has been spent has went into making more (saving) government jobs. That's just what we need! (sarcasm) Bailing out GM; I mean paying the union for votes. The investors should have gotten paid not the union. They should have went bankrupt, and reduced their cost of production. Welfare; I know a healthy adult male useing food stamps. Did I mention he also has a camera phone that has texting and an internet connection. I'd like to continue but I need to do some work. Somebody's got to do it. Ahhh! Mike |

Property owners that let out their properties, and developers that make apt complexes they then fail to maintain worth a **** are the biggest thieves in the country. |

Vote with your feet. 2.5K (like Joe, mostly school tax) for 8 acres and a not quite complete "shop with living space" ("camp" per the the assesors.) Somewhat less if I actually get to the point of living there - currently paying the non-resident premium rate. About a 2 hour drive from the commuter train if you need to hit NYC, or an hour from the Amtrak more expensive version. Not the sort of thing you'd want to do daily, but not too bad if you needed to get there once in a while, though I rarely do. -- Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by |

Talk about hope and change... ;-) ...Jim Thompson We had a republican win over the 3 term dem county executive (Westchester, NY). Unfortunately, the city of White Plains election seems to be all taken by dems. One independent challenger for mayor had his petition thrown out by the courts because of a mis-understanding about filing date. Call me suspicious but the only other candidate was endorsed by both parties. A big write-in campaign resulted. We'll see how that works out in the next week. http://www.lohud.com/ Hopefully our taxes will stop increasing so fast. $12.5k for a raised ranch on half an acre. Sheesh. Cheers Phil Hobbs Probably more in Scaresdale or Larchmont or Rye - maybe others as well. :-( But thank goodness we got rid of Spano. Ed |

Cheers Phil Hobbs Did you see Phil Reisman's column in the morning paper on the Spano - Astorino battle for county exec? I love his columns and this was another time I laughed my arse off.

In White Plains, 'Boss' Bill Ryan was on our ballot. So far it's a pretty close race with Hyland. No love lost if Ryan looses grin. Robert Oppenheimer |
