Guess you could try to get it right. State income tax goes to the state, There is a fixed state sales tax that goes to the state and some counties and cities also add some sales tax to sales in their counties. I lived there for most of my life and glad to not live there anymore.

Very interesting. I run an IRC server on my server. The network admins had a chat about illegal chat flowing through our servers. One admins father is a lawyer and made a point that if you start to police chat you are open to liability from the stuff you miss. Also whats illegal one place is not illegal in another. What a slippery slope failbook is on now. Oh BTW, Who still has a failbook account anyway?

WTF ? Water tables are at most 1k feet deep. Oil wells are well over 5k feet deep with a LOT of non permeable rock in between how can this fracking fluid get into the water table ? If all due precautions are taken there is no leakage. There is a well casing that seals off the drill hole where is goes through the water table. If we all want to be dependent on other countrys for our energy, stop the fracking and pay 5$ a unit for natural gas or 10$ a gallon for your gasoline. Too much politics and not enough common sense.

It never fails to surprise me the idiocy of the "civilized society" folks and taxes. Are you saying the more civilized our society is the higher the taxes are supposed to be ?
My father of 87 remembers a time with NO personal income taxes. Does that mean we were somehow less a civilized society ? I dare say not. Most if not ALL federal income taxes go for pure bullshit that the federal government should have no business doing. I say that individuals should have no contact with the federal government, No federal income taxes. Let the interface with people be on the local or state government level and let the states interface with the feds. Let the states pay fees or whatever you want to call it to the feds to cover only what they are constitutionally allowed to do. 90% of the feds powers they have taken are 100% illegal and not constitutionally allowed. But we the sheeple over the past 100 years have allowed them to do this to US. Remember dems AND repubs are all the same animal with different spots doing the same thing to you, taking your personal freedoms away bit by bit.
