Jean S: “Do they think we’re really that stupid?”
Two thoughts...
1) Paying taxes that are due is the moral thing to do.
2) An unenforced tax that relies on voluntary compliance both penalizes the moral and encourages the dishonest.
Are you for real? Would you mind explaining what is so moral about a “use tax”?
Explain. Is handing over your wallet to the robber the moral thing to do, or simply the prudent one?
