Exactly Plymco. People keep forgetting that the Feds aren't theonly people taking a tax bite out of your hide. That I suspect was one of the reasons the Feds had enumerated powers and the States, counties and cities did not. The Feds weren't supposed to be involved in a major way in people's day to day lives. That was up to the states and cities to the extent their citizens were willing to tolerate. Now we see Obama nationalizing Chicago Politics and the California economy not a good combination.
