Your #40 is well put.

I'll go one step further. It's none of the CA's effen business how much you sell. America was never supposed to be a nation where some slimebag tax bureaucrat can look up a private person/business owner's ass any time he feels like it, just because he can.

It's too bad our citizens have become so compliant and weak that they continue to allow such activities to continue.

Actually, I have no particular beef with sales taxes. They're a pain in the butt to deal with, but it takes me just a couple of hours once a year to calculate what I owe in sales taxes from my California sales and to fill out the form.

I don't even charge my CA customers sales tax. I just pay it for them. That way, they pay the same price as my out-of-state customers. It's a discount to them, but they'd shop somewhere else if I didn't do that.

I do object to having the state have access to my banking and credit card charge records, but I really can't do anything about it. Since I don't cheat at all on those taxes, it's no sweat off my back, but I dislike it on principle.
