I live in Wisconsin too, and my house is worth more than double that and my property tax is $6500 a year. My state income tax doesn't come anywhere near my federal income tax. Even the example property tax bill on the Wisconsin Department of Revenue FAQ site shows a $367,000 home/property paying $5741. http://www.revenue.wi.gov/faqs/index-pt.html State sales tax is 5%, and some counties tack on another .5%. Highest counties in the state tack on .6% for a maximum sales tax of 5.6%. http://www.revenue.wi.gov/faqs/pcs/taxrates.html#txrate2 So yeah, I'm guessing you are exaggerating a wee bit.

I guess it is too much to ask to just tap on the brake pedal to turn off the cruise control if the cruise control does something unexpected. Yes, it is a bug. Yes, Toyota needs to fix it. Not so sure cruise control is such a great idea at 80+ mph anyways if a driver is concerned about safety.

Ummm... You are implying that somebody actually does take him seriously. We are well beyond that now...
