The United States of America Taxation Code

[snarkbunny]

They obviously still feel the U.P. belongs to Wisconsin.

Did the U.P. ever belong to Wisconsin? It does sort of fit better with Wisconsin.

I see where this is going. and yes I will read the canadian tax code if somebody will give me a solid interwebs link. (read: easy way to shut longdecember up)

Knock yourself out, longdecember, but it's pretty dry reading. In fact, you can find pretty much all the federal government's acts and regulations on that site.

Thanks snark. you wont see me on this thread again 'till the perponderence of blood and treasure for a war comes from the USA. I have a short memory. Korea. Vietnam. Afganistan. Honduras. Iran. Contra. Bosnia, Iraq. Iran. etc.

The thing I love about canadians is that they generally take the side of peace. ;)

I think it is more of a proximity thing Green Bay is a closer drive than Detroit. If your a pro football fan it would make sense you would roof for the team you have to best chance to see.

Back when Wisconsin was a territory, we were given it so we would drop our claim to Toledo.

That makes a lot of sense, it's why a lot of Windsorites are Detroit Red Wing Fans, and Niagara Penisula inhabitants are Buffalo Sabres fans.

And that is a bit of American history that is new to me. I looked up the Toledo War, interesting reading. Thanks for the info, Pickle!

No problem I have no issue with informing people of when my home-state gets screwed. By that I don't mean because we didn't get Toledo but because we got tricked into taking the U.P

But the U.P. is pretty!

Isn't that worth getting rid of Toledo?

I think Pickle is being silly.

The U.P. is rich in iron ore and copper was a big help to jump starting the auto and manufacturing industry in Michigan during the industrial revolution. Michigan won the lottery with that exchange.

It's a good in hindsight deal. At the time, Toledo was a major trade center, and the UP was largely unexplored.

Silly? You deal with the YOOPERS then. No amount of iron ore is worth those termite herpes hybrids.

So?

It's not like Wisconsin would have imposed tariffs on them.
