Well I sure hope the govt isn't doing things on your behalf. I hope they aren't going to help you collect all that rent.Originally posted by Flubber
Back to taxation-- I also trust myself to make better decisions with my money that what the government would do on my behalf. Bottom line is that we will not get a tax increase here at this time as the politics and popular opinion is so opposedI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Let me guess-- The nasty money-grupping oppressor capitalists have the nice houses which they only get through their wrongful bloody oppression and exploitation of the noble workers

And no I don't care about someone renting their basements. I don't recommend that people do that either. It's a lot of headaches.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

I don't know where you are but there's a housing boom ...or shortage... Housing is cheap here in MI.
It's getting to a point where you can't give the stuff away.
And Wichita is a wonderful city, but I like Topeka best.
I think what Flubber and others object to is the sense of entitlement. You sound like someone owes you a place to live, and that's not so. Just because a person has lived in a given apartment for a certain amount of time does not entitle them to continue living there should they fail to pay the rent.
In your job, you presumably provide a service of some sort or another, do you think that if your employer pays you regularly for 10 years they are entiled to one year free?

Well that's not it, and I've been trying to make that clear. I know that I am not entitled to a lower rent, just like people are not entitled to lower taxes. That's my point really.Originally posted by padillah

To be fair to Kid, he was initally responding to complaints about high taxes with a complaint about his high rent.
Not that I begrudge Flubber the capcom threadjack attempt. Those can be fun...

And I hope you don't think any of us are glad you are paying 50% of your income in rent.
I'm sure Pekka knows you're not hatin' on him.

and in the long run he won't pay that much tax. Its just basically that his source deductions were too high this time because he didn't file a card in timeOriginally posted by Kidicious

I wish kid a better job and cheaper rent
I just thought he was headed into that rent is exploitation argument again. But he didn't. If its merely a complaint that he feels prices are too high, I can commiserateYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment
