Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"

And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX

HI,
I made a purchase the other day with my card and I had plenty of money for the purchase. However, it turns out that for some reason the transaction for the purchase I had made in the store was delayed and took the money out of my account two days later. By this time I had done the rest of my christmas shopping and therefore had no money in my account.
I made the purchase when I had money in my account! Why am I getting charged a fee by the bank!? Can I dispute it with the bank?
THanks

Sunday, Dec.30: The latest CNN coverage shows a new poll in Iowa with Romney now leading over Huckabee. Romney has been advertising heavily with a contrast ad which points out Huckabee's growth of government, soft stance on immigration in favor of college grants to illegal aliens, and pardoning of over 1000 convicted felons including 12 murderers. Huckabee is now taking a more aggressive stance, calling out Romney by name and saying "he has nothing to stand on". But Huckabee will not refute any of the facts in the Romney contrast ads.

Why not?

Might it be that the Romney ads contain accurate information and the facts speak for themselves?

Is Huckabee just now getting desperate and lashing back with whatever he can to try to counter perceptions of key points in his former performance as Governor of Arkansas?

Thompson has made a large thud; Guilani and Romney look like governing liberals that talk the talk, now, of being conservative, but, never walked the walk of "conservatism" while governing.

More generally tax cuts have proven to stimulate the economy all right, but, in turn, balloon the deficit to dizzying heights, our troops are bogged down in two different nations with no end in sight, and even the American Mediacal Association are recognizing that our health system has serious fractures...

Our we looking at a new era in Politics?

Most SUVs are obviously luxury passenger vehicles like a Crown Victoria or Buick Roadmaster. Is there any reason -- other than fancy-dan euphanisms for "loophole" -- that they shouldn't be regulated in the same way as other luxury passenger vehicles?
