TV's are not taxed. You pay a TV license each year that funds the BBC. By the way I am an American who lives and works here. I last lived outside of Boston.

For some of us, the irony is on the fact that those who live in the most socialist parts of our country never seem to be able to figure out why the economy is so much worse in their area in comparison to other parts of the US.

Our economy is already well socialized at the state and federal levels. Edging it to be more (hopefully only for a short term) or less for the welfare of a very hurting country is not necessarily a bad thing - for the good of the country. Not that you are, but to brand him a socialist, or any ideas he is pushing as "socialism", is silly IMO. Our economy is a blend of capitalist and socialist ideals. -- ME2 On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 2:32 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Probably not a great day to retort on this, but you will either agree or > hunt me down.. > > 2009 is going to be a bad year in the economy.
