OK so you refuse to look at the cost/benefit analysis of overhead lines
verses underground and just want to baselessly argue the point that
underground is a wiser decision. I just wanted to understand your point.

Apparently you want to do the same thing for the amount of tree trimming
that "should" be done.

You should be on the obomination team dictating how we all should be
living our lives as I'm sure you could do a better job than any of us
are doing.

I don't know about you but I'm wondering when my Federal and state of
Cale-forn-na tax refund checks will show up.


Cost/benefit analysis is no way to deal with people's essential
services. That is a slippery slope that invariably ends with people dying.

Wow, that's quite a non-answer. Cost/benefit has nothing to do with
people dying or not, it has to do with the best use of money and effort.

I am neutral on Mr. Obama, but I have seen nothing indicating that he
plans to tell anyone how to live. It is quite a stretch to equate me
stating that disasters are made worse by inaction, to a desire to
micromanage strangers' lives.

The obominanator is willing to have government manage your life to the
extent he can make it possible.

People who overpay their taxes all year and then get refunds are morons.
I will cut the state a check, like I do every year. Do you enjoy
loaning money (interest free) to your hero Arnold?

If you cut a check every year and you are more than 10% off you will be
paying another assessment.

I try to have my tax deductions keep pace with my obligations but things
change throughout the year. My tax guy was worth way more than his fee
this year.

That is absurd on its face

I didn't say a minimal amount of skill wasn't required

I use HR Block Tak Cut Premium. Way more accurate than a human.

So the way businesses operate is absurd then.

What skill would that be? Keep moving so they don't catch up with you?

I deal directly with a human being, a friend actually, instead of some
corporate entity like H&R Block.

The skill is keeping your liability below the trigger level for
penalties. I cut a check for a couple hundred bucks.

HR Block Tax Cut is a computer program. It is very accurate.

More from my post than lips but, pray tell, what would you advocate in
the place of rational thought?

I made larger retirement contributions than I originally expected to
make due to the stock market crashing as I elected not to invest last
year. If I don't get my refund in a reasonable amount of time from the
state and Fed's I will decease my withholding accordingly.

They are not human and they make mistakes. They don't care about you.
The mistakes are usually omissions so the IRS will not care either. You
go to these people to have your taxes done and you end up paying more
then you should. Not so smart.

Including efile it's under a $100. I have used tax guys in the past.
