I live in the Socialist State of New York. My daughter has lived in Nevada for about 10 years. She started college 4 years ago there, and 2 years ago her laptop PC died. I told her to pick one out and we’d put it on my credit card. She went to the Dell store and picked one out and I paid for it with a credit card. Somehow New York State tracked down the sale and added 8-7/8% sales tax to it. This is on a PC that was manufactured in Nevada, sold through a store in Nevada and possessed by a resident of Nevada. The PC has never been out of the State of Nevada. There is nothing that New York State will not stoop to. Allowing states to do this is criminal.
Really great post.. very well said. States basically are nothing more than organized crime families, with the federals government, being the god father.
I ordered a Dell laptop 2 years ago, and the Texas guy on the other line charged me a $25 “green environmental” fee for being in mexifornia. I asked what the heck was that idiotic fee and he explained that all SCREENS’ on a TV et al are subject to this tax. You could hear it on his voice that he felt sorry for being in this state. I even asked him if it’s possible to waive the stupid fee.
