Re: Another inept Bush pal leaves FEMA

who cares, everything is soo cheap in the US it aint funny ... ;-)

I pay $100 to fill my jeep, $7 for a bottle of OJ, $3 for a litre of
pepsi, $15 for a 6 pack of beer .... yeah thats pretty much my weekly
grocery list :-(

A normal weekly grocery purchase of say normal stuff, i paid less than
$50 in NY for, i paid $150 here, just did my first weekly buy in a
while the other day ... it killed me .. then again if I dont, i spend
$30 a day on just 3 fast food meals.

35% Customs Duty on Alarm Systems, 22% Duty on Video Equipment, 50-65%
Duty on Vehicles,  and add 7% stamp tax on everything ...

The person making $100,000 a year pays the same cost for something, as
the poor person making $8,000 a week (average salary). Thats why Income
tax is needed down here so bad, and to get rid of customs taxes, or
lower them ... but things like TV tax is just pathetic! (UK)
