It is a combo of state politics where we have decided to elect people who are willing to tax the residents more which allows the state to put more $ into schools, which turns out a more educated workforce which attracts companies who will pay more in salary for that educated pop.

And we have beachfront and are close to Manh.

There is a pretty good correlation bt blue/red politics, quality of schools and average income.

If your daughter has any questions about the place, send me a PM, I’ll see if my daughter can answer them for her.

And still am and still will be paying them for at least the next 5-10 years, and my kids have been out of the school system for 5 years.

I’m going to where I can stretch my fixed income farther. I want to dine on only the finest moist cat food.

“could very well be negligible”

5 minutes ago it made absolutely no sense at all. are you saying that now my logic makes sense, but the impact may be negligible?

now youre saying that wealthy people pay more taxes, and are subsidizing the rest of us? careful, you’ll get kicked out of the democratic party for saying that the wealthy pay a disproportionate share of federal income tax!

my point, which you confirmed, is that before the SALT cap, high state taxes in some states, requires subsidies in low tax states. we can debate whether or
not the effect is significant, but the effect is real.

i paid 3,000 more in federal income tax thanks to the salt cap. many people are actually leaving high tax states thanks to that cap, so it’s not negligible.

not guilty. That's just the facts people make money in the Northeast and then they retire to the warmer lower taxed south.

Video was just released showing Trump at the hospital bragging about his crowds at an earlier El Paso rally. This is the one he still owes El Paso $500,000 for. All the patients in the hospital declined to meet with him and they had to bring two released patients back to meet with him. Including the young baby whose parents both died. One doctor described Trump is showing a complete lack of empathy. Yes, greatest president ever.
