I wonder if individuals will be next? Our tax preparer first asked us about our internet purchases last year. Told us that Kalifornia law now requires her to ask her clients about them, declare what they've bought and pay the sales taxes on them, which we did.

Of course they will. They are just starting at the top of the list. Kalifornia is going to go after everyone and anything to steal money. They have to gather money to support illegals and fund green progeams.

Oh, man, I’d leave here in two seconds flat if I could. I just hope we get out before they put up the Iron Curtain.

I hate to say this, but the end of the Tax free Internet is in sight.

Technically, there never was a "tax free" Internet. Almost every state has a Use Tax, which you are to pay a certain percentage of the amount of good you purchased out of state. I suspect states are now ramping up to start enforcing them.
