LOLOL!!!!!  http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/thinkerg.gif  I'm copying this to send out to friends too.

Some years back my state's nickname was TAXachusetts.  With all the budget cuts they've been making lately, they seem to be setting us up for another tax hike. (Unless there's a riot over toll hikes first).

Here in West Virginia I thought of changing the name of the state to Taxes and the name of Charleston to Dollars, so that I would say that I lived in Dollars, Taxes.  I also gave one of our former governors (which I had the mistake of voting for but didn't vote for him again when he ran for a second term) the name Gasbag Capertax because he was long-winded and had the audacity of putting the sales tax back on food purchases…
