Title: Alabama Still Collects Tax for Confederate Veterans Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 21, 2011, 11:44:16 AM Just another outrageous example of sleazy politicians NEVER letting a tax expire.
The last of the more than 60,000 Confederate veterans who came home to Alabama after the Civil War died generations ago, yet residents are still paying a tax that supported the neediest among them http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=138533139 Title: Re: Alabama Still Collects Tax for Confederate Veterans Post by: BAMAWV on July 21, 2011, 12:20:17 PM Lee may have surrendered but poor ol' BAMAWV has not. Sorry if political.

We actually agree! Title: Re: Alabama Still Collects Tax for Confederate Veterans Post by: SUPERCOACH on July 21, 2011, 02:48:27 PM Lee may have surrendered but poor ol' BAMAWV has not. Sorry if political. This reminds me of the Indian in Josey Wales. "They tried to make me surrender but I refused." "They made my horse surrender though. He is pulling a plow in Kansas now."

Bounty Hunter: "Mans gotta make a livin some how." Josey: "Dying ain't much of a livin boy."

Whiskey. no whskey Beer, then. people in the bar laugh (Rose says, How 'bout something else?) No whiskey either, first the silver run out, then the beer run out then the whiskey run out, then the people run out. But its good to see a high roller come by. I knowed a man one time didn't like to be called high handed Might you be the mother of tom turner whose crooked river ranch is over by blood butte? That I am, Miss. Well, I am Rose!

Title: Re: Alabama Still Collects Tax for Confederate Veterans Post by: bamalum67 on July 30, 2011, 03:36:12 PM Movies I would want if on a desert island:
Josey Wales Lonesome Dove The long Trail All John Wayne's Unforgiven ("I ain't like that no more") Blazing Saddles Young Frankenstein Cool Hand Luke (yeah, well, sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand) Magnificent Seven Butch Cassidy and the SUndance Kid 2001 Space Odessey 2010 space Odessey Title: Re: Alabama Still Collects Tax for Confederate Veterans Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on July 30, 2011, 04:09:24 PM Cohen brother's remake of "True Grit" was a great movie. Identical to the 1969 book. The movie relied on the actors to carry the film. No 3-D crap needed.
