I wish foot locker every success whether in New York, Florida or anywhere they choose.

Banning books and deregulation are not solutions.

If I was running a business the bottom line would be a key point in my decision making and location.

I never told Aaron that he didn't know what he is talking about. I told him New York was a successful state, because that is what it is.

Things are tough all over.

I never told anyone to ignore anything.

Well I wish them a happy tax free..
