Totally Superfluous Deli Opens on Fulton
Aspiring Bodega Owner #1: Hey, Partner, let’s start a bodega. Aspiring Bodega Owner #2: Great idea, buddy. Where? Aspiring Bodega Owner #1: How about four doors down from an existing deli? Aspiring Bodega Owner #2: Great idea! We can’t lose! GMAP Update: The 713 Deli has actually been closed for a while so maybe the…

Update: The 713 Deli has actually been closed for a while so maybe the folks opening the new place at 707 Fulton are actually business geniuses and it’s our commentary that’s superfluous!
BSD — “Congressional Budget Office data suggests that, at most, about 10 percent of all households pay no net federal taxes. The number 10 is obviously a lot smaller than 47.”

Almost everyone, except the very poor, pay federal taxes of some sort. Even if they don’t pay federal *income* tax, they are still paying federal payroll taxes like social security and medicare.
And, of course, everyone pays the regressive sales taxes and there are also state and local taxes… not to mention property taxes that even poor renters pay indirectly.
I might be mistaken but I think that deli is shuttered cause it is out of business. It has been closed for quite a while and hasn’t been open when I drive by at different times of the day.

Rob, I choose not to get in an argument with you about the validity of your statement that the poor do not “pay their fair share of taxes.” It is futile, so let’s just keep it to the fact that I do not agree with you.
Lotto money is supposed to go to education, but there have been questions about that. Much of it goes to paying winners, and propping up the whole NYS lottery industry, which is huge. It is not “like” a tax.
My sister-in-law is from Meh-fuh (a.k.a., Medford) just north of Boston.
Yeah – if the Berkshires weren’t wicked pretty, Massachusetts would totally let New York have that part of the state.
I was born and raised somewhere around New Bedfud – Fall Rivuh – Dawtmuth. 195 represent!
You know what they don’t have anywhere else other than, I think, eastern Massachusetts and maybe southern NH… Milkshakes! (as completely distinct from a frappe) I don’t think I’ve had a Milkshake since I was a little kid.
western mass is more of an extension of upstate new york. For example, there are easily more Yankees fans than Sox fans in the Berkshires.
