  1. looks like a team maine sled up front.
  2. well lets face the fact he's far more accomplished than anyone on here to if he's a loser what does that make you
  3. there is no direct benefit, one way or another someones paying that property tax bill.
  4. spot on, the right really should be encouraging abortion as it's the fiscally responsible decision for all.
  5. Well right up to the point where they have to pay for their own infrastructure improvements, education, social services without the federal gov support For the record in general I agree to a certain point that the feds need to step out of some things and let the states collect the money but the reality is when the shit hits the fan from states making bad decisions they are going to end up looking to the feds to step in and save them no different than say Detroit did looking to be bailed out of their bad decisions so the Feds need to have a certain level of involvement. Education is one of the toughest things IMO because there should not be the variations in quality that exists between states although I'm not sure setting Federal standards and throwing more money at it is ever going to fix the ed system in some of the southern states.
  6. sales tax yes property tax no as that does not benefit the state. it was the right thing to do given the timeframes involved but hardly a steal.
  7. i heard they once had a tremendous one who was going to become the greatest president this country has ever seen then he got elected and was one of the worst "leaders" ever and did nothing besides stoke the fire or unrest within the black communities in most cities.
  8. as my son pointed out when the doctor prescribed him opiates after his knee surgery- nature provides an all natural non addictive pain killer. He was weaned off in a week because we weren't taking any chances seen too many people start with a sports injury and then move on, his friends brother OD'd about a year ago so at least he's aware and wanted to be off them.
  9. too bad the state whose providing the incentive/subsidy is only collecting 1.3 million of that.
  10. workforce participation is still poor which is what keeps the rate low. http://www.businessinsider.com/us-jobs-report-november-2016-2016-12 The unemployment rate dropped to 4.6%, while labor-force participationas a share of the working-age population declined to 62.7%, remaining near the lowest level since the 1970s. Fewer people are joining the labor force on net partly because baby boomers are retiring in droves.
  11. i've got no issue with what trump and the state did,, end of the day it's better to have these people working and paying taxes but these deals need to be the exception and not become the rule because if the states shelling out 3k per year per employee and only collecting $1200 they are in a deficit until year 6 or 7. what the feds, fica, prop taxes are aren't directly relevant to where the money is coming from to provide the subsidy. if the economy was stronger and these jobs could be replaced at even 75-80% of the current wage the state would be better off letting them go.
  12. manufacturing jobs in that area, most likely the average, media said up to $25 even at 52k they are probably paying 5k a year after normal deductions in fed taxes.
  13. ribs in a crockpot are worse than a red baron french bread frozen pizza, by a lot.
  14. fed government isn't making squat on 40k a year jobs, certainly less than 7k per person per year if thats the real cost of the subsidy.
  15. of course it is. it reduces their taxes therefore they are getting something.
  16. they better be resigning Bennett cause Grok while awesome is brittle and may never play an entire season again based on his history.
  17. Yes he works in MA lives in NH has a camp in Maine. On the second one, nope working in mass and living in NH is about as bad as you can get tax wise cause you pay through the nose for NH property taxes yet still have to pay the MA income taxes.
  18. a skill that passed Obama by because he was inexperienced and unqualified.
  19. huge difference between choosing not to serve and working the system so you don't have to serve when your number was called IMO
  20. i have no issue with him(Obama) choosing people who know how the system work, i suffer daily in a system created by academics like Liz Warren that has driven up the costs for the average person dramatically with little benefit.
  21. so you know he wasn't of draft age yet you keep calling him a draft dodger, ponderous.
