[...]Excellent weblog right here! Additionally your site quite a bit up very fast![...]…

Thanks, very proud of my son. My husband and I are actually looking to move out of Illinois, might just take you up on that.

That’s impressive! Good for him. You’re welcome to move here too!

Unfortunately, our education system is saturated with crazy liberal professors. He scored 35 on his ACT exam. UNL offered him three scholarships, University of Illinois….nothing. My son started last fall. So far, no complaints from my son about nutty liberal professors at UNL. He’s pretty conservative and in tune with current events. I’m sure he’ll run into them soon enough. I fall in love with Nebraska every time I visit, very friendly people.

As long as it stays a tax paid by the final consumer, and not a VAT, strung along all the way from raw material to end user and every step in between.

given the blue state fears about “tax exodus”, you will likely see a VAT system so that each state gets a piece of the final pie before the final consumer pays the total bill. Short term thinking of course that will lead to changes in the production chain and further penalize the higher tax states but long term planning in inter-state dealings usually correlates with how long the idiots have remaining in office.

Sadly, UNL profs are probably just as crazy liberal as those in Champaign. I still root for the Illini, to no avail. We hope your son stays here!

Yeah, our car taxes here are a joke, but that’s just because of our low population. I look at it as the price of keeping out the riffraff. I paid $50 to license my first car in Illinois, but that state compensates through exorbitant tolls.

Because corporations do not pay taxes or fees. The customers of the corporation pay those taxes and feeds.

It is pretty simple logic, lost on most people.

Because too many people are liberals, or have been raised and taught by liberals, they sadly lack sufficient cognitive skills so even the most basic and simple logic eludes them.

There once was a time when some localities provided bus fare to cities in California for their most flagrant layabouts, giving them glowing reports of what California would gladly provide for them once they got there, and made sure they were aboard and on their way to the Land of Fruits, Nuts & Flakes.

Hahaha! I love it! Sounds like a revamped version of “Greyhound therapy” that some places had to do when the idiot liberals closed the nuthouses.

As for local sales tax, it sounds fair but is a royal pain to collect and tends to encourage barter and black market sales. Anything that prompts distortion of normal market exchange cannot possibly be good.

True, but your preferred approach requires individuals and employers to willfully report income, something I doubt is being done by all of our 20 million illegal aliens…

For illegals, it’s hard to avoid paying any sales tax, but pretty easy to avoid paying income tax.

Then why do they keep voting him back in? Of course, their other choice this year wasn’t so hot either — a woman who gambled away huge chunks of campaign money. But even if Council hadn’t gotten caught with her hand in the cookie jar big time, I think ernie would be back in the Legislature.

That’s the other half of the jokes; that a gawdy, loud, stupid clown of a man is their perfect representative.

Frankly I don’t feel any more sorry for laughing at them than I do at Obama voters. They don’t have guns to their empty heads, they willingly and repeatedly voted for someone who doesn’t have the sense of a lobotomized monkey. Long past due for some jeering IMO.

As a Nebraska retailer, I have no problem collecting sales tax. My point-of-sale software tells me how much to collect on everything I sell. If I don’t have access to that program, I merely multiply the sales times .07. It’s not hard at all.

Every garage and yard sale in America is most likely a “black market” exchange. And it’s not a sales tax that creates an out sized “black market” — it’s the economy. The more people need money, the more willing they are to barter and trade.

I’m not concerned that layabout low-info voters are going to move en masse to red states — they’re layabouts! It’s those low-info voters that are already in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, Pennsylvania, etc — blue states with Republican governors. Get a portion of them to see the light and suddenly we have that landslide we’ve been promised.

Corporations should not be taxed…

If I don’t subscribe but my neighbors do, the police will still patrol the street where I live.

Yes, but they’ll just sit at your stoop and catch the guy who just shot you, instead of going in and getting him. Likewise, the fire department will make sure your house fire doesn’t catch the paying houses on fire and watch yours does a nice controlled burn to the ground.

What public parks do you speak of? Why is the government owning any land? Sure, you can breath the air, you just can’t walk your dog on someone’s private park without the possibility of them shooting you for trespassing.

You have no idea how many nasty jokes are made about Ernie being the perfect representative for local blacks. He is literally an insult to their community on a statewide basis.

Encourage them to move to North Omaha and vote against Ernie. Gack! I can’t believe we’re in for another several years of his shenanigans.

Well said. Nebraska beats the heck out of Illinois, where I grew up. My relatives there would love to live in a place like Nebraska. They really should move here and make us a redder state. :-)

But when Heineman says he wants to get rid of property tax, is he also including our beloved annual car tax? Even when I actually could have afforded to buy a new vehicle I refused to do so because of the outrageous annual property taxes.

Income taxes need to be eliminated and replaced with simple sales taxes. That way there is no paperwork… no records to keep… no IRS agent looking at all of your affairs.

The idea is the fund the countries needs, not for the government to be Big Brother.

That’s all we need is low information voters from the blue states moving to the low tax red states and turning them into liberal cesspools.
