There are a LOT of Republicans in Wyoming... perfect for you John! :o)


>>Maybe a good compromise would be Wyoming!.. Last I heard they did not have a state income tax. And I don't know if they could have a traffic jam if they wanted one.

>>I gotta agree with Tamar on this one. I live in Tennessee, home of the free and the less taxed. We don't have a state income tax, which means my income can be less than someone in say, Ohio, and yet be more. I recently was in Ohio, doing consulting work, and once I received payment for services rendered, it was less than I would have made if I had worked on the program remotely, even though the fee was considerably more - communists!

>>>I've been planning to retire to Colorado within the next 5 years, but I may have to keep dual residency to afford it! Tennessee is one of a handful of states that don't try to eat their citizens via ANOTHER income tax. I believe Texas and Florida are also in this. The more I see of government, the more I agree with Milton Freidman's idea "If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."
