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.

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.

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.

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

But call it a "purchase" tax, or maybe an "outgo" tax; there seems to be[/quote]
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? ;-)
