They are "not raising taxes" they are "just helping to collect
taxes". There is a big difference...


Hmm, here in 'tax-happy' New York State there is a line on the state
tax return where you are 'required' to add in all the state tax that
you did not
pay on 'out of state' purchases.


I believe most states have this in their income tax forms. *It doesn't cost
anything to put it there but likely gets just about as much in return. *Have
you ever put anything there?


Yup, I always put down a little something ~$10-20. All internet
purchases, but less in recent years since I've just been checking the
box on the order form to have the vendor pay my sales tax.
(But remember I'm a liberal weenie, I also pay ~$100 a year extra to
get all my electricity from the local wind farm.)


I guess you make perfect sense. ...to someone.
