I’m getting aggravated.

My cup runneth over---with indignation.
The other day, a judge gives a suspended sentence
to a criminal, even though D.N.A. proved he committed
a four year old crime. What happened to do the crime—
do the time?

Tom DeLay, in his infinite wisdom, deemed himself unelectable ( no kidding? ) so he quit the race. That meant that Congress will drops all charges and investigations, and once again--- BINGO!
No punishment, and he retires with his annual personal
subsidy ( pension ) intact. Wonderful.

Last but maybe the most important: Sales Tax & The
Internet. For all of you who buy on the internet, and think it’s wonderful that you don’t pay taxes, think again. Because it disrupts the level playing field of all retailers who have to compete, think about this.
Retailers pay rent, utilities, labor, and many thousands of dollars more in overhead and operations costs. When
a retailer goes out of business, because you don’t keep your business local, everybody suffers. Jobs are lost,
tax revenues are lost, and the list goes on. Then we all
suffer because people collect unemployment, our taxes
go up, etc. etc. At the very least, everyone should pay sales tax ( unless we get to a national sales tax equal for all consumers, like England. ) I urge you to write or call your congressperson to support sales tax for the internet.
