2/20    I've been looking at Washington state's tax laws.  Man, this is a
        scam.  I thought that because they have no state income tax, the
        tax would be lower. But no.  They have all sorts of hidden fees and
        charges.  Use tax, personal property tax, forest tax.  Moving to
        alaska is becoming an attractive option to me.
        \_ Move to israel, i hear they have a good progressive tax policy
           for your kind.
        \_ alaska is by far the most beutiful state.  the tax thing is
           not a scam.  i've worked there and they really don't tax anything.
           besides, where else can you go into k-mart and buy a .500 caliber
           *pistol*?  and as far as the oil problems in the mideast goes, they
           have a saying up there "let the bastards freeze in the dark."
        \_ Move to israel, i hear they have a good progressive tax policy
           for your kind.
        \_ tax rates are really low in Alaska's Kenai peninsula,
           have a great time! - danh
                \_ Zero tax in Nevada and Delaware.
                   Incorporate yourself for an even better deal.  -brain
        \_ goodbye, nice knowing you.  don't let the door hit your ass
           on the way out.
           \_ I'm sure CA will be the perfect utopia after all the people
        \_ You should move to Honduras. I hear they have one of the
           lowest overall tax rates in the world.
              in the middle and upper middle classes have left.  Then the
              rich and ultra rich can hire the poor to raise their kids, do
              the dishes and wash the car and everyone will get what they
              asked for.
           \_ I've lived in CA for 20 years.  The typical cycle is:
              economy good, gov't programs expand.
              economy goes sour, gov't cut education and raise taxes
              economy rebounds, gov't expands again.
                         \_ Oi Vey, I only came here for the good money
                            I don't want to stick for the bad, Nietsky.
              repeat ad infinitum.
        \_ You should move to Honduras or Gutamala. I hear they have one
              I'm tired of this never ending cycle.
                \_ so get the fuck out
        \_ Go back to Moscow and take your Menorah with you.
                \_ ohh 20 whole years!  carpetfuckingbagger!
                   \_ dumbshit, no one is really *from* california except the
                      very rare few of us who are native american.  are you?
        \_ You should move to Honduras or Guatemala. I hear they have one
                      \_ Don't be stupid.
                         \_ Oi Vey, I only came here for the good money
                            I don't want to stick for the bad, Nietsky.
              \_ What other possible cycles are there?
        \_ You should move to Honduras or Gutamala. I hear they have one
           of the lowest overall tax rates in the world. If you must
           stay in the US, go someplace like Mississippi or Tennessee.
        \_ Go back to Moscow and take your Menorah with you.
        \_ You should move to Honduras or Guatemala. I hear they have one
           of the lowest overall tax rates in the world. Guatemala is
           a libertarian paradise, with practically no roads, schools,
           public health care, or any of that other big government crapola.
        \_ Hong Kong has a top personal tax rate of 15%.
           \_ Plus there's neither sales tax nor capital gain tax.
              \_ and as an extra bonus, you get to live in the world's largest
                 dictatorship!

3/5     My dad is retired and has no income. My income tax bracket is
        pretty high. If I open up a joint high interest CD account with
