Reply Mike, Norwalk 9/13/13 really, really sad and far to true Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 9/13/13 The only tax that I favor is a poll tax. When I first voted in Texas you had to pay a tax, some where around $1:75 in order to vote. This kept a lot of riff raff and no- nothings from voting. An awful lot of these folk have voted in recent elections. Reply L. Hanson, Edmonton, CANADA 9/13/13 And the quintessential idiot was George W. Bush.
