I just posted a
DUFU sub-thread about Wee Willie's Big Move:
High Hypocrite Pitt has abandoned his prog obligation to pay higher taxes in order to help the less fortunate. White Willie cares not one whit for those living in urban squalor and for those children's education. Pitt did the "white flight" thing out of town. He left Boston and Taxachusetts behind, and he fled to the homogenous safety and lower taxes of the lily-white woods of New Hampshire. Also, now he is closer to Mumsy, Mother Pitt, aka DUmmie Raven.
So he loaded up the truck and moved to . . . New Hampshire . . . back in August.
Pitt commented recently on his escape to New Hampshire from higher taxes-and-costs Boston:
I spent the better part of forty years living in various parts of Boston, hemorrhaging money out of every pocket and every pore because living in Boston is like losing the lottery, every day, a little at a time. It costs fifty bucks just to walk out the front door in that town. It's my favorite place in the world, don't misunderstand me - if, in the fullness of time, I find myself living on Neptune, I will reply, when asked where I'm from, "Go Red Sox" - but gadzooks, is it pricey.
So I got married, and then my daughter came along, and all of a sudden, spending a massive pile each month between rent, utilities, food, gas and the occasional new shirt seemed excessive after baby expenses were added to the mix. Long story short: it was time to go. After a flurry of packing and a caravan of friends with large trucks, we found ourselves in a wonderful house at the far end of five miles of dirt road, embraced by New Hampshire forest that seems to have no end.Coward! Hypocrite! Racist! Have you no compassion for the poor? You have abandoned the city!
BTW, Bukowski's had a big farewell shindig for William Liver Spot back in August. Since his departure, amazingly, they have not declared bankruptcy.
