    You left out the two most important items - a unicorn in every backyard and a rainbow over every house. ;)

    Atlanta, Macon, Athens, Savannah; all very liberal.
    Augusta, not as bad, but too blue for me.
    You ever looked at Anderson, SC? It's on Ga border. Very,Very Red. Good community with even better suburbs. Top notch hospitals in neighboring Greenville, SC.

    Doesn't really matter. The major cities determine the direction of the state.

    A lot do do around Greenville-Spartanburg. You can eat a "hash-a-plenty" at the Beacon and need those good hospitals. :Biggrin

    You do understand my concern for a good hospital…preferably cancer orientation

    In the area, Augusta GA and North Augusta SC are good choices for hospitals.

    So is Nashville TN...but that is expensive.

    Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
    In whom there is no help.

    Psalms 20:7-8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
    But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
    They are brought down and fallen:
    But we are risen, and stand upright.

    You’re wrong about Reagan. Bill Clinton signed the bill that taxes Social Security.

    As for who to vote for, I lived four years under Trump, and I have lived four years under Harris. I had four good years under Trump. I had four mediocre years under Harris.

    Totally ridiculous. That’s a danger from Harris. Never happen with Trump.

    Ronald Reagan signed the 1983 Social Security Amendments into law, which taxed up to one-half of the Social Security benefit.

    "Congress passed and President Reagan signed into law the 1983 Amendments. Under the '83 Amendments, up to one-half of the value of the Social Security benefit was made potentially taxable income. The specific rules adopted in 1983 were:

    If the taxpayer's combined income (total of adjusted gross income, interest on tax-exempt bonds, and 50% of Social Security benefits and Tier I Railroad Retirement Benefits) exceeds a threshold amount ($25,000 for an individual, $32,000 for a married couple filing a joint return, and zero for a married person filing separately), the amount of benefits subject to income tax is the lesser of 50% of benefits or 50% of the excess of the taxpayer's combined income over the threshold amount. The additional income tax revenues resulting from this provision are transferred to the trust funds from which the corresponding benefits were paid. Effective for taxable years beginning after 1983."
