Buffy ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The income tax was the main reason I think Frank, and in part, I think that's because our upstairs neighbor, NH, had no state income tax. Like Nutty said though, their property tax was through the roof.
Isn't the Maine state sales tax higher--like 8% or something? It always seems to me that the outlets in Kittery aren't that good of a deal, after I check out at the register.
I think we used to be Taxachusetts, but are no longer. Although Governor Mitt would like to take credit for all of it, in fact his income tax rollback recently was only from 5.6% to 5%. (And anyway, I think that was referedum-mandated.)
We're not taxed excessively; we're just communists!
I love how we get the option to pay the higher rate, if we like (at least we did, one tax year).

Actually, now that you mention it, I think that's right (the 5.something% is the current MA income tax, right?). Seriously, unless you have to have LL Bean (and I'm not sure if they tax on catalog sales), you're better off hitting Wrentham if you want Outlet style shopping.
Never wore a jock strap, except for as a method for wearing a cup, though I remember in Jr. High and Highschool we were required to own one for P.E.
On the other hand, not wearing a cup in those particular activities where you're highly likely to get nailed in the tender bits? CRAY-ZEE.
Definitely. Such as a combat LARP and you're the tallest person on the battlefield, meaning your groin is at the same level as most people's stomach. The couple times I've forgotten my cup, I've ended up regretting it.
Actually, you now pay 9%. It went up July 1. (not sure if that's for all of Cook County or just Chicago, tho)
This is why I do all of my major shopping in Wisconsin.
Per the data I was able to find, Maine is also at 5%.

I think MA state sales tax is just a flat 5%. Is the meal (restaurant?) tax in Maine different from the sales tax in Maine? Maybe that's where the 5.something figure is coming from?

I think guys should wear cups all the time. To compensate for my lack of self-control.

Been randomly kicking guys in the groin again, have we? You're gonna get a reputation.
Big, honking mitt: good. Foul tips, wild pitches, backswings: bad. I vote cups for catchers.
Yeah, it's the foul tips that get you. Think of the angle on a foul tip that shoots down under your glove, hits the dirt and bounces back up. If you're wearing a cup, that would ring your bell. (As they used to say when the cups were metal - with a rubber edge where it touched your skin.)
I never got whacked in the balls while catching, though I might've caught a knee in there while going over a runner while turning a double play.
Estate Taxes and Groin Protection. I enjoy the concurrent discussion dynamic.
