Tax Burdens – State by State

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

I was doing a little research online today on the different tax burdens each state throws at its residents. I always knew New York was up there, but I wanted to know about how the rest of the states in our fine country compared to our overpriced and overtaxed state. Sometimes I wonder what the heck we are paying for up here. I guess that will be an eternal question in my mind.

So, during my research, I came across this great article by CNN Money, titled, “How tax-friendly is your state?” This was pretty good. They merged and averaged all the taxes a person pays in a particular state and put them in a nice list. As I said above, I knew New York was up there, but what really surprised me was who was in the number one slot and who was in the 49th. Two states, side by side. Makes you wonder.

See for yourself

The American Civil War

Monday, September 24th, 2007

What was the American Civil War all about? I think if you ask a lot of people, they would tell you it was about slavery. I guess it was, but it was about a lot of other things too.

The whole reason I am thinking about this is because I saw a bit of the movie, “Cold Mountain” yesterday. It is always so depressing watching things like this. In many cases, you can’t help but to take the Southern side of things. I feel like this especially when I think of “Gone with the Wind.”

Anyway, I think that you, yes you, should read about the Civil War and tell me more about it.
