I know... it's amazing how all the really successful people in this world were raised in LI schools. Nobody goes on to be successful raised in those other flyover states. I mean the Fortune 400 is LOADED with all born, raised, and educated on LI folks. So it's best to keep your kids in those schools because it really pays off in the end. Guaranteed success.
oh, wait - I may be looking at the wrong list...
There are many successful people who come from flyover states. Many of my second home buyers are NOT originally from LI. When I worked in the city many of my coworkers were from elsewhere.

The biggest scam going
Pay the highest taxes in the nation for sub par education built around the facade that it is the best.

kind of an oxymoron really.
Not quite the biggest scam. I can think of a bigger one involving no-neck thugs who pull guns on bartenders and make $163K a year off the taxpayer dole, Mr. Citizen.
Regarding cell phones, in 1970 I paid a ton of money for a regular phone, because I had family in California. I now pay 39. a month for unlimited nationwide. In the 70s my mother, father, sister and I all had cars, even when we lived at home. Since we don't buy new cars our car insurance isn't as bad as some people's. I didn't get "free" healthcare until I went to work in publishing, and even then I had to pay for my spouse to have health insurance. Prescription medicine is not too expensive providing you don't need lipitor or something like that. My parents do, and they buy it from a Canadian pharmacy. I'm not saying it's cheaper to live now, just that one needn't earn 150,000-200,000 a year to live here, and most dont. By the way, your 40 a week for a family plan is pretty good, we pay 830 a month for 2.
Costs like this are addressed in the study's findings and the example of high cost land lines are long distance have gone down, but at the same time cell phones and data plans have taken their place. It's a wash, and if not totally equal the cost of something else has either dropped or was eliminated to make up the difference. The study found that mortgage costs, and health care have either gone way in adjusted dollars and child care is a new expense.

At this point if people don't want to read the report it means that they are being willfully ignorant.
Watch again, even after you say this, another person will post saying "in may day, we didn't spend $300 on playstation 3, wah"
Housing costs, health insurance, higher education, child care, an additional car made necessary by having 2 parents working. This is where the bulk of peoples money is going.
More money in the pockets of insurance companies and banks. Guess who controls the government? Hint: it isn't Motorola.

I like the way your list of reasons is getting longer.
Clever.
The report hasn't changed since 2 days ago when you didn't read it,
No, I said YOUR list, not the "Reports" list, baby. You added to your own list yesterday.
And about the report...I did get about halfway before more pressing business popped up.
I suppose articles like this have their purpose but I'm not placing it on the pedestal you are, that's for sure. It's not the be all, end all of all things written. It's sprinkled with a political agenda, for one.
You can worship it as the bible if you like.
Not on any pedestal like your irrelevant anecdotes, at least. The worthless rantings of a wannabe comedian from Bellport have much more validity.
It's just coincidence i'm always right.
