Wait til the a holes start taxing the air we breath. A tax for clean air to breath in and a surcharge on what we exhale as polution.

Would be cheaper for the state to just send $1000 to everyone whose house flooded. This is either a lame attempt for state government officials to look like they care or there is some other reason for the tax break.

Pretty sure this only applied to small purchases.

But this could have just been store policy.

Can't wait to go buy a non-electric can opener. I will stash that .16 I saved for a floody day. :-)

Good time to go buy that 1 $299 hurricane shutter for the smallest window in my house.
