milehighmike User ID: 339344 ![]() 10/20/2008 11:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I too voted against retaining ALL judges and against most of the Amendments except the gambling one; I like that the additional taxes are used for community colleges in Colorado. The reason the 50 series amendments were "pulled" is because a group of business owners ponied up a bunch of cash and tried to "buy" the proponents off, ONLY the unions took the money and ran. The right to work folks took the high road and walked away from a lot of scratch! "Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.

The Broncos would have to get better to suck tonight.... Oh well... "Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.

Screw it, my kids are grown and my property taxes are high enough. Let 'em grow up to be ignorant bible beating republicans for all I care. I'll move to Montserrat and sell volcano tours. At least the rain stopped, where I live anyway. |

Corporations DON'T pay taxes, they pass them thru to their customers (it's an attempt by our esteemed Governor to sneak thru a 300+ Million tax increase and bypass Tabor). Quoting: milehighmikeThose oil companies have to sell their oil on the open market at market prices. If they can pass it along fine, if not, let them eat it. Years ago I was an oil baron, ready to rape & pillage with the best of them. Glad I grew out of it. |

Problem is, they WON'T "eat it", if they can't make money, they pull out and take the jobs with them. This state is getting plenty of money from them in resource royalties right now, the greedy bastards want MORE so they can piss it away on their "pet" projects...

I don't see it - all the neighboring states charge more, Colorado is still a good deal, and they'll still make money peddling the oil, just not as much. I think the "pulling out" talk is just a bluff. If Exxon pulls out, Chevron will step in. |
