And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
US Highway 50 as it heads east from Kali into Nevada at Stateline. Now it's an overbuilt casino corridor. Nevada now has state sales taxes...but much of it's revenue comes from taxes on gambling. Sadly the political criminals here are just as addicted to unlimited spending as they are everywhere else so they are constantly trying to get new taxes of all kinds passed.
The red car with the white top, on the far side a ways back looks like a '56 Chevy, judging by the fuzzy taillights. Looks like the bullet lens for that year.

ReplyDeleteInteresting photo - - the Nevada state line sign proclaims it is (also) a debt free state. Imagine, tax free and debt free. Sounds like a dream.

ReplyDeleteSo, I gotta ask, . . . what year was this happening, or what year was this picture taken, etc.?
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of the cars, 1953-54?....

DeleteThe higher the taxes, the worse the state budget and the more bankrupt they become.
ReplyDeletePeoples Republic of Connecticut.
DeleteA debt free state, what a thought
ReplyDeleteThat aquamarine beauty parked under the sign, isn't that a Cadillac? I'd drive that!
