lewislynn: “Hey, when it come to taxes you’re one sick tax loving dude.”

I’m sure he’s capable of defending himself, but I’m going to defend CharlesWayneCT. Can you point out where he said he loved taxes? As far as I can tell, he’s only reporting the facts.

Here’s from the Oklahoma Tax Commission:

“Every state with a sales tax has a companion tax for purchases made outside the state. In Oklahoma, that tax is called “use tax”. If you have purchased items for use in Oklahoma from retailers who do not collect Oklahoma sales tax, you owe Oklahoma Use Tax on those items. Individuals in Oklahoma are responsible for paying use tax on their out-of-state purchases.”

Note they didn’t say mail order transactions. The Oklahoma use tax also applies to buying something out of state (in person) in order to bring it back into Oklahoma for use.

I bet CharlesWayneCT doesn’t like taxes any more than I do, but we DO have a moral and legal obligation to pay them. Personally? I think tax rates are way too high, and government, especially the federal government, is doing way more than it should. That doesn’t make tax avoidance right. Don’t like it? Get the tax laws changed.

Use tax,how convenient for you.

It would be much easier to do if people like you and CharlesWayneCT would stop defending them.

Yea, both of you did it in your own (so many) words.
