State tax stays within the state and gets used for things like roads, state parks, things like

ah right, the Fed tax is similar to our income tax/paye.... pays into the Governments coffers. We have a council tax which is determined atm by the size of house you occupy, which is similar to your State tax, that pays into local councils such roads and stuff.

Wanna hear the funny part?


That whole "Revoltutionary War" thing we had about 230 years ago or so? Supposedly, we were pissed at the english for "taxation without representation".

Now, we have "Taxation without representation".

ironic, eh?


I would like just one halfway decent human being to run for office and actually get elected based on merits rather than talking a good game and convincing a narrow majority that they will represent their interests.

same anoyance here...Blair just got re-elected as PM, labour lost loads of seats in Parliament, throughout the country, his parties policies and keeping to what he says is absolutely atrocious..say one thing do another. For the last eight years it's been like this, and what pissed me of more, the labour candidate where iI live, who retained her seat, spens our local council money on shite, like there's no tomorrow... during the publicity before the elections I must have got 5 or 6 letters from the bitch, complete waste of resources and money, severl hundred thousand people live in my council/borough, wonder how many other people recieved crap in their letter box......and this is just the small end of what she wastes money on.

Dont you guys have social medicine?


IF our taxes seemed to go to something useful, i wouldnt complain.

Anyone else notice that right after our genius president's $50-fucking-million dollar inauguration, the price of gas jumped almost 40 cents a gallon?


$50million.....

He should have gotten a fucking dixie cup and a kazoo. "Congradulations mr president. now get to work, fuck head."
