"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've never had to pay county or city income tax, just state and federal. However, Cook County currently has a ten percent sales tax, so we pay over and over and over again.

Jeez, and they call us Taxachusetts? No city or county income tax. 5% sales tax (and none on clothes, though that MAY be changing). I know the governor is trying to get the legislature to push a bunch of sin taxes (alchohol, cigarettes, candy, etc.) through (which is why the clothes one may go away), but gas is relatively cheap compared to other NE states. I know housing taxes can be a bear here, but even so, we're better on those than "live free or die" NH.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

NYC sales tax is 8.375%, but Bloomberg wants to raise it to 8.625%, and restore it for clothing purchases.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

easy peasy....

What I was really thinking of was "okey dokey, artichokey", so even my question was wrong.

I'm glad you asked it wrong because thanks to you and ita, I have been saying "Easy peasy, George and Weezy" ALL. DAY. LONG!!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Don't get me started on gas costs! I just filled up last night at $1.95.

ETA: And that's the Lake County cost; Cook County is higher, and Chicago city costs are higher yet.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My point was only that I often hear that you have to tip a waiter X because they count on tips as income, regardless of how good or bad the service was.

My answer to that is the bad ones had best seek employment where their flaws won't have an immediate negative effect on their income.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Aims and MM, I'm very sorry. Though I'm a little entertained that where other people get brackets, your announcement prompted a string of copious swearing.

All y'all could move to Athens, GA... it's cheap here, mostly.

I've only ever heard easy peasy, lemon squeezy from that movie with Shia LeBeouf with the golf.

Wrod.

Edit: Apparently women are bad tippers. I know I am. Maybe it's a "Oh, you're delivering food, I know exactly how hard that is" thing.
