Today is day 2 of the right wing holiday here in Massachusetts. It is the sales
tax free weekend. This is the weekend that all of the right-wingers that don't
believe in personal responsibility go shopping. On one of the local channels a
reporter was at one of the home improvement big box stores interviewing a lady
who sounded like she was in her late 50s or early 60s. The per-person limit on
tax free purchases this weekend is $2500. She was telling the reporter that the
way she was gaming the system and getting around the limit was buying her major
appliances in multiple transactions. The reporter asked her what she would do
if her house caught fire. She said she would call 911. Even though the folks
around her didn't have microphones on them you could hear the laughter and
snickers when she said that. I wonder if she ever realized how stupid she
sounded. Goes to show that the right-wing doesn't know or care anything about
personal responsibility.
