MA Requires Internet Tax for 2002 Tax Season

Posted by timothy on from the mmmm-statism dept.

Flamesplash writes "Yahoo! is running this story about how Taxachusetts has added an "internet" tax to it's 2002 state forms, 'this year's income tax form will have a new line item -- asking you to estimate and pay the sales tax on items you've purchased from out of state.' It should be noted that 'the law has been on the books since 1967. But only car and boat owners registering their vehicles in Massachusetts paid.'"

    That's funny. In Argentina we have a 21% sales tax (yes, 21%). And public services (hospital, education, and so on) really sucks!!!. I mean, go to a public hospital (with 50% poverty rate, most people go to public hospital) and you will have to wait hours in a line at 6 AM. There's NO security, I can get killed any time by anyone.
    So I don't know what are you complaining about.
