    At least I know where my extra 15 cents per $100 is going though. It'd be nice to know where the extra state tax for alcohol goes, or cigarette tax, or gas tax goes to.
    Yeah, you know where it goes all right - improving the bottom line of Carl Pohlad.

    Yeah...no shit eh?

    It's absolutely staggering how few people on this board have even the slightest clue of what's going on in the world, and how it affects them.

    What's ever more shocking is that they are defiant in their ignorance.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    This is an excellent reason to vote for Kucinich in 2008. Easily the most fiscally responsible candidate out there. Easily.

    how so?

    the amount of fucking wasteful spending of taxpayer money. I know I know, everyone is going to reply with the "wasteful" spending on Iraq. defense spending, excluded, we waste BILLIONS.

    for example. in wake of the MN bridge collapse, its said that some 70,000 bridges need repair in this country. I was watching a press conference when bush said he would not raise taxes to pay for it but ask congress to reallocate current spending and ask them to reconsider what we spend money on. I agree. (again I am talking about domestic things). for example, 40 million was spent on some stupid project to find out how to increase foot traffic on walking paths in minnesota. the list goes on and on.

    what is that report that comes out every year? the pig report or something? can anything really be done about the shameful spending by congress?


    didnt bush want a billion dollars to create a moon base and a death star?

    space is the final frontier. I have no problem spending money on exploring it.
