His next door neighbor pays $60,000 a year in property taxes. I bet he's a happy camper.

As for his visit, I wounder how many of my tax dollars will be spent on his security.

BTW - I hope this ends soon as I only have two bottles of scotch left!
I'd really like to find a way to boycott having my hard-earned money being splurged on someone else. Spent on necessities, yes. National security, yes. Sick, homeless and abused, yes. Law enforcement, yes.

Luxuries and tax breaks, buy your own! There's a box of cigars I've been drooling over and I could get it if you'd just get your hand out of my pocket. Or, while your hand is down there .....



Oops, sorry for the threadjacking.

Well, think about the idea that that expenditure basically is national security. While giving Khadaffi a tax-break feels lame, it's absolutely pocket-lint on chump-change next to what we'd be spending if we pissed him off and had to send the army after him.

Ounce of prevention, you know?

If we pissed him off???

For some reason I'm not worried about that.
