Rock & Roll PING

Leave it to California to be the “Lewis & Clarke” of taxes! Always finding new ways, new items, new horizons to tax it’s people on. If you live in California, you’re a sucker of the 10th degree and deserve everything you get.

I live in Louisiana and I’m charged sales tax everytime I download a song from ITunes.

The $0.99 that the iTunes Store charges for individual songs has taken on an almost iconic role in the field of music downloads, becoming what many consider the standard for fair pricing.

I don't consider it to be a standard for fair pricing! Especially considering that, even including royalties, it still costs only a few cents to make a digital copy of the song and send it to your computer...

I’d say these jackoffs tax my patience, but I don’t want to give them ideas....
