I remember as a little kid hearing a retailer describe the sales tax as "a penny for the governor."
Wow, I thought. What a deal for the governor.
Soon, down in Cabarrus County, it might be a half-penny for Bruton.
If you shop at Concord Mills mall, you could be helping cover the payoff to Bruton Smith for his not-going-anywhere, never-was-going-anywhere race track, the Charlotte Observer reports.
Wow. What a deal.

Dare I ask, who's Mr. Moore?* Doug
Mr Moore is reported to be the long lost husband of Mary Tyler Moore the TV star during the 60's. He has not been seen since he really believe his TV Star wife was really married to Dick Van Dyke the other star of the show who was the TV husband of Mary. Mr Van Dyke later went on to fame in the movies as Husband of Julie Andrews in the movie "Chitty bang bang" a story about a talking old T-model Ford. Mr Van Dyke became confuse about his TV and Movie wives and later fell victim to drink over this issue, His real life wife left him, The T-model refuse to talk to him, and other vast problems occured in his career. He is reported working in South Central LA as a arm guard and part-time janitor in the LA county school system.
The other Mr Moore that Mr Johnson refer to could be that famous actor Roger Moore of the James Bond 007 movies. Mr Moore was fired years ago from the Bond movies and was replace with 26 new 007 Bonds since than. Mr Moore was reported the man behind the scenes who got 700 republican women together the other day in Greensboro to listen to a major speech by Rudy G, the republican candiate for president who explain why the fair and flat tax was unfair and flat to him. Most of the Republican women were confuse since they really believe he was bringing back the flat earth society to government again.
Mr Moore is now reported in making a come back in the Bond series movies by shooting a movie in Greensboro where he battles a evil corrupt editorial editor writer and a blogging little midget named evil tiny Ed who want to control the personal lives of Greensboro citizens by using the internet in a mind control scam on the citizen that Greensboro is a paradise no matter how many drive-by shooting occured in the neighborhoods.
