But there's a message in the results of a few races.
Take a look at the New York 23rd district congressional race. Where the GOP
candidate wasn't judged to be "conservative enough" by the crackpot wing of
the party. So they* back a third party candidate, the GOP candidate drops
out and supports the Democratic candidate and the Dems win.
It appears as though the GOP 'core' is willing to drive off anyone socially
moderate, in spite of their fiscal responsibility or pro-business
positions. The GOP has been hijacked by nut cases from the trailer parks.
*'They' includes such noteworthy figures as Palin, Beck and Limbaugh.

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.

Hopefully our taxes will stop increasing so fast. $12.5k for a raised
ranch on half an acre. Sheesh.

My opinion is property taxes are wrong, once you pay for your home,
you should not have to pay the government to live in it. (paying for
the rest of your life) Makes me mad just thinking about it!
Mike
Read what you yourself wrote. You "pay for your home" and are then
taxed for the right to live on the property, or ground it sets on.
Check out rental costs on similar properties in the same area, and
then quit complaining and thank God that you have it so good.
Bill
The renter can also "thank God" for the privilege of paying
property taxes, by proxy through rent to the owner.
Right now, I "thank God" for a place to live that I can afford,
regardless of whether what I pay helps defray the landlord's cost
to own the place or not.

Bill, I don't get your point, my wife and I have had a lower middle[/quote]
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 |

Yes, I have but when one begins with "read what you yourself wrote
(about taxes)" followed by "quit complaining" then they're talking
about taxes too regardless of doing a zippity do da whirligig around
it.
To wit, if taxes were lower then more people might "thank God" they
could afford a home or spend less on rent, like maybe enough to send
their kid(s) to college, and if taxes were higher more people might
'thank God' they can't afford a home or pay more for rent, like maybe
so much they can't afford to send their kid(s) to college.
I just find the "thank God" government hasn't taxed you out of house
and home yet, so quit complaining, to be a specious argument. Taxes
are an unfortunate necessity (the degree of which being debatable),
not something to be 'prized' and sought after, Gomez Addams (Season 2,
Episode 5) notwithstanding. |

Move to Texas. $4.5k (most of it school district tax) for 12 acres
with house and barn and no state income tax. I could drop it
some if I put a couple of cows out back and took the ag exemption.

Thieves come in all shapes and sizes but I agree, landlords should
maintain the property.
On the other hand, I take it you've never let out a property to see it
virtually destroyed by the suddenly vanished never to be seen again
renters.
As I said, thieves come in all shapes and sizes. |

Hee! Hee! Hee!
If you don't know why I'm laughing, you're terribly under-informed.
Talk about hope and change... ;-)

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.

Hopefully our taxes will stop increasing so fast. $12.5k for a raised
ranch on half an acre. Sheesh.

My opinion is property taxes are wrong, once you pay for your home,
you should not have to pay the government to live in it. (paying for
the rest of your life) Makes me mad just thinking about it!
Mike
Read what you yourself wrote. You "pay for your home" and are then
taxed for the right to live on the property, or ground it sets on.
Check out rental costs on similar properties in the same area, and
then quit complaining and thank God that you have it so good.
Bill
The renter can also "thank God" for the privilege of paying
property taxes, by proxy through rent to the owner.
Right now, I "thank God" for a place to live that I can afford,
regardless of whether what I pay helps defray the landlord's cost
to own the place or not.
Bill
That's nice but the issue was taxes.

Yes, I have but when one begins with "read what you yourself wrote
(about taxes)" followed by "quit complaining" then they're talking
about taxes too regardless of doing a zippity do da whirligig around
it.
To wit, if taxes were lower then more people might "thank God" they
could afford a home or spend less on rent, like maybe enough to send
their kid(s) to college, and if taxes were higher more people might
'thank God' they can't afford a home or pay more for rent, like maybe
so much they can't afford to send their kid(s) to college.
I just find the "thank God" government hasn't taxed you out of house
and home yet, so quit complaining, to be a specious argument. Taxes
are an unfortunate necessity (the degree of which being debatable),
not something to be 'prized' and sought after, Gomez Addams (Season 2,
Episode 5) notwithstanding.

Actually, it should be: "I just find the: "thank God government hasn't
taxed you out of house and home yet, so quit complaining", to be a
specious argument."
Even better: "I just find: "thank God government hasn't taxed you out of
house and home yet, so quit complaining", to be a specious argument.
The best, I think, would be: "I just find: "Thank God the government
hasn't taxed you out of house and home yet, so quit complaining", to be
a specious argument."

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.

As a fellow westchester-ite, I feel your pain. 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>.
