why are you two answering me.....

It's millage.
A mill = .00X

like the 3.999 when you buy gas.

It's often used in tax assessment on properties. WSW? can expand on this...that is about all I know.

Your millage rate is one of the factors used in determing the tax. It's like a tax rate.

The higher the millage rate, the higher your taxes.

That's all you need to know.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Lots of good (and not so good...) points made by lots of posts in this thread...

Main thing I still strongly disagree with is the idea that we just let poor people stay poor and rich people get richer...but i suppose thats a matter of values, so we'll remain split.

It seems the general republican point of view here is that anyone who is poor, is only poor because they are lazy...which is nowhere near true...its like saying well countries who are much poorer than the richer countries are just poor because they are lazy...there are alot more contributing factors that can be and should be helped.

I do agree though in that, if you really just don't try and are a lazy piece of shit...you don't deserve any kind of help from anyone.

How do you diferentiate them from the others?

I agree 100%. Some of them are stupid too.

Not easily, but that doesn't mean don't try...its not exactly impossible to tell whether someone is making an effort at advancing their life or if they are just mooching off the government till they die

Elaborate, the only thing you came up with was education and that was blown out of the water.

Really? If it is so easy, I wonder why Workers' Comp companies have to hire investigators...

lol. The cost of food varies from state to state, cost of gas varies from city to city by more than .20/gal. Gas in California is nearly 1.00 more per gallon than here in tulsa. The same goes with orange juice, it cost nearly 1-2.00 cheaper in california vs Oklahoma. Wages also vary from city to city and state to state, cost of living is not the same across the country. Electricity varies from state to state as well. I used to work for AEP which supplies power for 11 different states, and each state had a different rate for each kw/hr used, same for each city i've lived in for other utilities.

The average price of electricity is 9.49 cents/kwhr the lowest is 6 highest is 16we are talking 10 cents between the 48 states, I don't include alaska or hawaii...So if you use 2000kw/month you are talking about a considerable difference of approx 200.00...So yes that is quite a difference...I stand corrected //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

but as an example, a 1 liter mtn dew in the 40 states i have been in have been maybe .20 cents difference, same with bread, peanut butter, milk etc... not much difference at all...Cigarettes I have found a huge difference from 25.00/carton to 60.00/carton...I am sure OJ is cheaper in florida or central cal and i am pretty sure beef is cheaper in dodge city ks, but at least fight fair...this was a general statement...I didn't mean to get into every last detail but i opened my mouth and know how this place is, so it is my fault...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

average price of gas in tulsa is 3.618 the average in orange county,ca is 3.672 L.A. is 3.707... okc is 3.500,las vegas is 3.560...

Its only .60 cents difference between the whole country...

I still other then electricity(i had no idea) still stand behind my statement that the basic cost of living is basically the same other then rent/morgage and now electricity...

and to flipx...Blue collar worker then how about a jr carpenter??? Blue collar enough???

33k=wv

35k=nc

41k=oc,ca

44k=ny,ny

so 11k difference

And yes I did say the major differnce in the cost of living is the rent/morgage due to prices of land...look at my posts...

I understand HI is more expensive, I wasn't including HI as that would skew everything way out of proportion...Fight fair at least...

And on the electricity, yes i do stand corrected, I didn't realize that idaho had such a low electricity rate, and rhode island had such a high electricity rate, but the average price of electricity is around 9.5cents/kwhr and most states fall into that catagory with a ave differance of .05cents/kwhr...Like i said i do stand corrected...

I don't really know whatt your point is given the fact that the difference in housing can be huge.

Have you ever heard of a concept called "Demand for services"?

taxing the rich is bad for biz,democrats always want to tax the rich , nothing new here...

democrats forget its the rich who create jobs and grow the economy....

What they need to be doing is cutting government spending and taxing other things besides

rich people..LEGALIZE IT !

I wouldn't agree it was 'blown out of the water'...is it not true that schools in ghetto or low class urban areas dont get the funding necessary as compared to suburban middle to upper class districts...?

Hell, even within my current district which is middle class, there's a huge difference in school funding and quality of education offered across different areas, why? I guess the better schools just happen to end up in the wealthier areas..?

Also there are things like..parental situations, location, crime, poor cultural influences etc, i had some other good ones in mind when i clicked reply but I can't think of em now..whatever

Really? If it is so easy, I wonder why Workers' Comp companies have to hire investigators...

I said its NOT easy.
