I wish I could put one on my car. But it wouldn't do much good here in Texas. But I guess I'll just have to settle with joy of knowing I only had to file one tax return this year. :-)

And you've hit on what should be our next crusade here in Nueva California: the elimination of the state income tax.

One way to make sure they can't cause trouble is to take away their toys. I'd love to see Gray Davis's face the day that a "no state income tax" initiative passes! But he should be gone by then...

For the moment, Mr. Simon is proposing to index the homeowner's property tax exemption here in CA which is still stuck at the 1972 level. For the average homeowner, this would take the exemption from $7000 to about $60000, which would instantly lop about $700 off the average homeowner's tax. But first he get's to solve the budget deficit by having to swing the axe...it's always like that in the wake of the spendthrifts, isn't it?
