As I prepare for my self-imposed tax exile beginning with an eight-hour plane ride tomorrow, I couldn't resist adding this tidbit to the "Be Careful What You Wish For" file:

And so it begins. As if it didn't suck bad enough to live in NYC already.
I'll be off the air for the next several days as I complete my move to Paris. As much as I would love to say that the move is my Baldwin-esque response to a Marxist being elected President, it's actually been in the works for the better part of a year now. The next pearls of wisdom to be proffered from my ample supply will be penned in the City of Lights. At least I'll get to watch all the "Hope and Change" from a safe distance and with an exemption on the first $87,000 of my income.
by 15%? What in God's name?
Err....and you chose Paris as your tax exile??? You do realize that the income tax rate in France for income over EUR 67,546 is 40% (2008 tax returns based on 2007 income)!? And that's just the income tax....in good old ueber-Marxist Europe you will have to pay all kinds of other taxes too....and cost of living in Paris is crazy as well...VAT is 19.6%, rents are as expensive (or worse than) as NYC. And the bureaucracy is real shit....I have lived there.
Just out of curiosity, how would you get an expemption on the first $87,000?
I feel jealous. i want to move to paris...but not for the tax break.
What tax break? France is socialist and proud of it.
French people suck you should have chosen Switzerland
This post reminded me why I hate NYC so much, and I thank God that I don't live there. High taxes and high cost of living so you can live in a tiny apartment and walk around in a city that has garbage bags everywhere. NYC is such a freaking joke.
This country is in dire straits. The dumb people just elected a radical socialist as their president because they wanted "hope" and "change" and wanted to prove they were cool by voting for an articulate black guy. Americans will be shocked when they discover just how liberal Obama is, as he signs into law the most massive tax increases and expansion of government in forty years. The economy will go into a depression, violent crime will skyrocket, and Obama will lose re-election in 2012. He is the next Jimmy Carter.
Haha, if you think there are lots of garbage bags in the streets of NYC...just wait until you see Paris! And I have no statistics to back this up...but I am convinced that Paris has at least twice as many homeless people as NYC....so much for shitty socialism.
Actually it is rather clean, plenty of garbage cans around and city employees people to go around to pick up trash and sweep the streets... of course that all depends on where you go. A lot of cig butts though, naturally. I'd say the number of homeless people is about on par with any major city, NYC included.
Also if you think NYC is unreasonable, you're in for a surprise.
Chicago it is for me... 15%?! That's outrageous.
Quite honestly I'm scared as shit about the next four years. Hopefully other government officials will try and keep his extreme policies to a minimum, but with the House and Senate both democratic, I'm not so sure.
I think it is becoming more and more obvious why 2012 was given long ago as the time stamp for the coming of the Amero and the NAU.God save us from this new Socialist experiment.
