Lefty,
That is true I have family that come here to shop for that reason. No tax... It is one small perk in this over taxed state.

I am with you outsider. Tax them for a while.
Question what would happen if everyone just stopped paying state wide taxes? You could pay a local tax that stays in the city you are at. No more state wide taxes. Then people who want high taxes could live all in the same place and those who don't could as well.

How Milton Friedman Saved Chile Milton Friedman gave Chileans the intellectual wherewithal first to survive the quake, and now to build their lives anew.
In 1973, the year the proto-Chavista government of Salvador Allende was overthrown by Gen. Augusto Pinochet, Chile was an economic shambles. Inflation topped out at an annual rate of 1000%, foreign-currency reserves were totally depleted, and per capita GDP was roughly that of Peru and well below Argentina's.
What Chile did have was intellectual capital, thanks to an exchange program between its Catholic University and the economics department of the University of Chicago, then Friedman's academic home. Even before the 1973 coup, several of Chile's "Chicago Boys" had drafted a set of policy proposals which amounted to an off-the-shelf recipe for economic liberalization: sharp reductions to government spending and the money supply; privatization of state-owned companies; the elimination of obstacles to free enterprise and foreign investment, and so on.

The goal is to permanently expand the American entitlement state with a vast apparatus of subsidies and regulations while the political window is still (barely) open, regardless of the consequences or the overwhelming popular condemnation. As Mr. Obama fatalistically said after his health summit, if voters don't like it, "then that's what elections are for."
In other words, he's volunteering Democrats in Congress to march into the fixed bayonets so he can claim an LBJ-level legacy like the Great Society that will be nearly impossible to repeal. This would be an unprecedented act of partisan arrogance that would further mark Democrats as the party of liberal extremism. If they think political passions are bitter now, wait until they pass ObamaCare.

Sunfan is right why should we deny them the same right to be as miserable as the rest of us married people (hahahaha). Hey as long as they have to pay the increased taxes, as long as they have to pay the fees at the court house who really cares. What I am tired of hearing about is special classes of people. We are all equal and what we do with our lives is our own choice be it to create a business or to work or to just be lazy. No one should be denied that right but no one should have to pay for it either.

Quote: "The dispute over the General Assistance Medical Care program may shift to the courts.
Democratic House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher suggested that someone might sue to stop the switch, although she didn’t name any groups and none immediately came forward. She said Democrats won’t go along with transferring the patients into the MinnesotaCare health program for the working poor."
So if they can't over ride a veto (which is in our state constitution) then run to the court to do the dirty work. If the court is going to make laws why even have these guys meet. Just let a judge make the laws and all will be better. Man what a strange time we live in.

Thanks for the sites. My question is this who is paying the bills? What have these groups done? Have any been brought up on charges? I did not find that info in your links. I did find that in the stuff NoDFL posted.

danbnimble,
Quote "Reagan armed Hussein in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan" The person who armed the Taliban was congressman Charlie Wilson a Dem from texas and the CIA http://hnn.us/articles/1491.html
Now where is your source about Reagan and Hussein? did he back Iraq in the Iraq Iran war? The answer is yes. Just like when FDR back the USSR against Germany. We made a choice. Iran was getting the backing of the USSR and it was cold war politics at its best. Maybe you should study history that has not been re-written to match your progressive ideas.
quote"Reagan championed trickle down. He cost the US a lot of lives and money." Lets take a quick look at the facts should we? I think we will.....
"Reaganomics" was the most serious attempt to change the course of U.S. economic policy of any administration since the New Deal. "Only by reducing the growth of government," said Ronald Reagan, "can we increase the growth of the economy." Reagan's 1981 Program for Economic Recovery had four major policy objectives: (1) reduce the growth of government spending, (2) reduce the marginal tax rates on income from both labor and capital, (3) reduce regulation, and (4) reduce inflation by controlling the growth of the money supply. These major policy changes, in turn, were expected to increase saving and investment, increase economic growth, balance the budget, restore healthy financial markets, and reduce inflation and interest rates.
The unemployment rate declined from 7.0 percent in 1980 to 5.4 percent in 1988. The inflation rate declined from 10.4 percent in 1980 to 4.2 percent in 1988. The combination of conditions proved that there is no long-run trade-off between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate (see Phillips Curve). Other conditions were more mixed. The rate of new business formation increased sharply, but the rate of bank failures was the highest since the thirties. Real interest rates increased sharply, but inflation-adjusted prices of common stocks more than doubled.

So I think it is you the progressive that should open your mind and stop trying to re-write history.

Tim needs to find a new job. Come November I plan on voting him out of his current one. Anyone hiring a "centrist"?
On National Journal calls Tim Walz a centrist
