Traveling to other states you realize how much we are screwed in ny. Cigarettes here in Ohio are 4/pack for Parliments. Gas is 3.55/gallon and diesel is 3.89 or less We went out tonight for drinks and dinner. Tab was $70 and the tax was $3.01. Just going to different places you see some crazy rules we have in NY that aren’t in too many places. Sucks that we have a city with 5 million people in our state too that suck most of our tax money. ---

I feel the opposite way. I’ve been to 25 states, and 3 other countrys. I really liked England, but it was very pricey. Every other state was a total FAIL expecially the south. Some of the laws and practices in other states are retarded. Like I was in the south with 5 grand cash and couldnt rent an apartment. Not because of cost, but because they wont rent to you for cash unless you have a job in thier area with pay stubs to prove it. They have more stuff open 24/7 other places, but If I had a choice of any state. I’d live in NY hands down. ---

Sucks that we have a city with 5 million people in our state too that suck most of our tax money. This is what I have been saying. I know Obama has been to 57 states and I have only been to/done business in about 50 of them but I see this all the time. When I was in Iowa doing business the guys were telling me you can buy a house in less than a week and the closing costs are nothing compared to NY. The list goes on and on and on. ---

Aside from the expected spelling errors, this post continues to shed light on the type of person you are. Why is it that you can not abide by simple fucking rules that are implemented almost anywhere you go in the country? ---

The more places you go in this country, the more you want to get the fuck out of upstate NY. The taxes, the bullshit, the nonsense, it all pisses you off to no end. So many people I’ve met that live around here have never been outside of their state, and its downright sad… ---
