that sounds like a great plan. Will any of that affect you when you try to smog it?

I am sure it will wake up brownie once those are installed. No idea for weather stripping though.

That is more than I will have. Since I owe the IRS over 6 grand, I never get a tax refund

My taxes are so screwed up this year. Even though I only worked for a couple of months. I think I'm going to owe about $25K. That's because I received money I can't spend. So, I'll have to take penalties etc... just to keep myself out of hock.

I hate the IRS. They tax you for money that you might use SOMEDAY. That just ain't right imo. If I use the money I should be taxed .... But, not before imo.

Life sucks to be me .... really....

They tax your income, they should only tax your spending IMHO.

I agree with that. Say a 20% sales tax and no other taxes. That way it's all in the cost of doing business. That way if you can't buy anything cause your out of work or retired they won't take your house because you didn't have the income to pay the (increased) taxes.

Seeing what my neighbors go through on a fixed income really hurts.

I agree totally. And a fixed sales tax would help people who travel from county to county, where each one decides what percent to charge.
