true american hero™
The inaugural Propeller Skies True American Hero™ award goes to State Representative Mark Burkhalter, a republican from Alpharetta. Mr. Burkhalter earned this honor by suggesting the State of Georgia return one billion dollars in surplus taxes to the taxpayers through a repeal of the communist car tax*. Amazingly, intelligent life can exist OTP.
I am sure Mr. Burkhalter will be tarred, feathered, drawn and quartered, and ostracized from the capitol for having the novel idea of returning money to the hard working taxpayers.
notes:
* For those readers who are lucky enough to live somewhere besides the Redneck Republic of Georgia, the communist car tax is a punitively high property tax levied against car owners. This tax is anti-American because it [1] inhibits the constitutional right of Americans to own automobiles, and [2] punishes the rich instead of the poor - the higher the value of one’s vehicle, the higher the communist car tax. Also, to add insult to injury, the tax is due on the owner’s birthday.

That is crazy. Glad to see the money returned. I thought my annual car tax was too much. On another subject, ever been to Greensboro?

The money hasn’t been returned yet, Mr. Burkhalter has merely suggested it. I’m sure the other politicians will manage to find a way to line their pockets, as well as the pockets of friends and relatives with the one billion dollars.
Greensboro? No. Why?

If Georgia’s capitol is anything like Colorado’s he better watch his back. If the pinkos and lobbyists don’t get him i’m sure there are a couple of rhinos waiting to attack.
Great idea though.

I was in Atlanta last year for a wedding in Greensboro. Bad experience, just wondering if you had ever been.
