@Gargantua:
Lincoln was a tyrant, a hypocrite, and a self serving power monger.
Good Riddance.
I feel much the same about Lincoln. Before he was president, when the United States made a declaration to the world, it was in the form of “The States stand united in…” and after Lincoln, addresses to the world are more in the form of “The United States is.”
In case you don’t catch the subtlety there, it’s a matter of 50 States standing together vs 1 Federal Government declaring.
ATM, as I said, I’m looking at Indianapolis. Getting yelled at that my poor car is going to get taxed to death (2013 Prius V 5 Series, for those that wonder) but I retort that they would have to charge me $7,600 a year in extra taxes to equal the tax SAVINGS I get for not owning realestate in this accursed state. Not to mention, our property values went DOWN yet our property taxes went UP. Pretty sure Detroit started off the same way, hence why I think Chicago is going the way of Detroit.
Eh…whatever, I don’t want to get into politics. Just looking for a new place to live.
