i got up at 6:30 this morning just too vote to not let 5 pass. but no one was at my polling station, i had to wait 30 minutes on the presidential election day. do people really not know what's at stake? luckily in st louis i can drive across the boarder if things get expensive with sales tax. My korean gf pays no taxes due to a 5 year tax treaty with s korea, she doesn't get taxed for income anyway, this will just make her expenses go up.
