I dont know about most of you, but you can almost smell it in the air...people are mad and about to take it to the streets...I think it may be the only alternative at this point..Hopefully I am wrong. Commercial real estate has been hit hard, but some business's still need to expand...they still need more space for their equipment and their trucks...we had two deals last month that fell thru because even though the purchasers had the money and agreed on the price...the tax assessors office wont lower the tax rate even though the appraisal depreciated....how can that be? Then when you have the option to dispute, the tax assessors office wont hold the hearing for months and goes on the caveat "nothing will be guarenteed" How does the country hope to start moving again when your own city is shoving it up the backsides of people of are able and willing to move property but the beauracracy wont let them?

Val,

The problem is that the government, federal, state, and local alike, are looking for money too. Wait until the federal government figures out it needs to find money to pay for all these bailouts. I'm hoping that everything works itself out and we get back to normal (i.e., what it was like 25 to 30 years ago). However, I just picked up my AR-15 lower yesterday and paid for my AR-10 lower on Monday and will be picking that one up in 30 days, The parts kits are on order. Just some insurance should things really go bad.

Yea I am walkin with ya..got all that but my feeling is they are gonna kill ya slowly..tax here tax there..lets face it...I dont know anyone who would go to war with any of us here, (been there, done that) no problem..its the ability to do business and provide for one's family and future that has me in a tailspin...we cant even move laterally at this point...we all know crime is gonna creep up...thats a gimmee...its what you dont see coming in your bank statements, your credit card agreements, your property tax bill..its like everything we were always taught has been thrown out the window..remember..buy a home, buy a home...hell even a "paid for" home is moot at this point..I, like many are just plain angry..bank fees are scheduled to triple in the next year to pay for the FDIC insurance...can you imagine paying 5-6 bucks on every bank process you do? The energy tax they want to shove up your backside, you gotta think twice on every lightswitch you turn on? This is a lost generation...I walk around now shaking my head..Maybe certain states should threaten succession....but hell they are all in cahoots...Obama said no more taxes...he never said NO MORE FEES
