Even if it turns out that the court rules that this applies to the militia and not to free citizens (which I doubt it will), there are workarounds.

In Idaho, for instance, all males between the ages of 18 and 45 are members of the state militia. Would be simple to reword this to include everyone who could currently now keep and bear arms.

Ah, yes, the water cascading over the concrete barriers and gently splashing into the concrete-lined culvert below. I remember going to sleep to the sound of 300 car trains hauling potatoes out of town.

Many of the software engineering jobs aren't in Idaho Falls itself, but out at 'The Site', the Idaho National Engineering (and Environmental) Laboratory. It's a convenient 75-90 minute bus ride out of town, just north of Atomic City (Quonset hut with a bar, gas station, and post office).

INE(E)L is located so far from town so as to provide a buffer zone in case of a little mistake in one of the engineering projects. Interesting place, if you ever find out what went on in some of the widely separated facilities out there. (Hint: the original name was Reactor Testing Station...)

do you have any links where I can read more about the history of this?

Current sales tax overview by state.

I can not find any single site with good historical data, but here are a few histories by state:

I'd list more, but most states don't provide an easy to read historical rate chart. In some cases you can get a breakdown of yearly sales tax receipts, but this is further complicated by the fact that they call sales tax something else, and it may be collected by 2 or 3 separate entities.

Where I live (Idaho) we have a law that allows people to put themselves on a state-wide No Call List operated by the Attorney General's office. For a $10 fee you get three years of "protection" from telemarketers who by law are not allowed to call anyone on the list. The telemarketers also share the administrative costs associated with the list since they are required to purchase the list at $25 every three months. It seems to be working pretty well here and considering the annoyance, $10 is a small price to pay (IMO).
