Or... Just hang around for a spell. Pelosi is working on that as we speak. Your wish is just a few bills away.

And where you don't need to pay $10,000 per year for health insurance. Where public transportation is so pervasive the hybrid will spend most of its life in the garage. When I once asked the governor why we could not do property taxes like the Germans do I was informed that would be counter to the State Constitution. There the tax is governed by the load you place on the infrastructure not the value of your land - over which you have no control.
