Texas (title, income, quote, Ching)

TheBig3 · 04-16-2009, 10:15 PM

So I'm listening to Chris Matthews interview Tom "The Hammer" Delay about Texas's interest in sussesion. Thanks to Gov. Perry for the pickup on the slow news week but what kicked me in the teeth was that you have no income tax there. Two things...

1. wtf?

2. **** you.

its this a common thing? I honeslty don't give a crap about other states tax codes.

Technically there's no federal law that states anyone has to pay income tax.

High taxes? What the ****?

Two points:
A. Obama raised the taxes on the rich...four percent.
B. Does your average Texan make over $250,000?

Um...the Governor was bitching about high taxes under Obama in his little speech (or at least that's what I got when I first read about it.) Obama's "high taxes" include raising the (don't quote me on the numbers I might be off a percent) taxes on the upper upper upper class from 32% (this is from the Bush tax cuts) to 36%. They also include giving tax cuts to everyone making less than $250,000.

I don't know how common having no income tax is but I know Florida doesn't have one. I don't think New Hampshire does either.

The thread title alluded to a more win thread.

Washington doesn't either.

I'm pretty sure Delaware is another state without an income tax but not positive. Maybe it's just no sales tax there or something.

I find it hard to believe that the thousands of backwards rednecks that are attending these rallies all make over $250,000 a year.
