O'Rourke's "Holidays in Hell": Quote And the Japs take snapshots of everything, not just everything famous but everything. Back in Tokyo there must be a billion color slides of street corners, turnpike off-ramps, pedestrian crosswalks, phone booths, fire hydrants, manhole covers and overhead electrical wires. What are the Japanese doing with these pictures? It's probably a question we should have asked before Pearl Harbor.

Real estate, road and trail access, appraisal, property boundaries, and to determine what a property is being commercially used for. Far as I know all of this information can be printed out and presented in court in the if needed- can't get into details about my own case though.Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

skyjumpsteve 0 #39 December 7, 2008 We are actually just about middle of the pack now! Massachusetts' State/Local Tax Burden Slightly Below Average Estimated at 9.5% of income, Massachusetts' state/local tax burden percentage ranks 23rd nationally, just below the national average of 9.7%. Massachusetts taxpayers pay $5,377 per capita in state and local taxes. Massachusetts has dropped 17 places in the rankings since 1977 by imposing a property tax limitation and keeping a lid on its personal income tax rate, living down its "Taxachusetts" nickname.

I knew our state had dropped in the standings but didn't realize that low. I moved to Mass. in the 90's from L.I., so I shouldn't complain. Their taxes in comparison are quite a bit higher. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
