Good thing Bush lower you taxes to make up for all the
State tax increases, Stan.  Maybe you need to try to
get more Rupublican voted into office there in NC and
you would not have those problem.  Maybe you have a
wild NC rebulican cowboy that could help you out:-)  I
find it interesting that a business owner would hold
the view that you do, Stan.  I work for the government
and see that your analysis is off.  No offence but I
call them like they analyze out to be.  As for our
solders, they signed up to fight; on their own free
will.  Surenly you don't think that the militery
paycheck is jsut the same as a welfare check.  Also,
the only reason that we all can sit here & voice our
opinions freely is the fact that we have militery
Bases all over the world with solders on ready to
fight to protect this country.  That what keep this
country free; we fight to keep it that way.  Talking
does no good.  
Steve

PS - No offence Stan.  Just my opinion.  BTW: I had
relative that died in WWII so that you all don't have
to speak Japanese.  Maybe we should have jsut raised
the white flag then, we wouldn't have to worry about
Irag today - Would have been an Japan problem:-)
