I looked up the NJ sales tax requirements from the Division of Taxation. No reference to it being illegal when the seller does not pass the sales tax to the buyer as a separate line item.
They could however the consumer ends up paying for it in the end.
The buyer ends up paying for all of the seller's costs in the end, payroll, fringe benefits, property taxes, capital improvements, etc... I do not understand your point.
they will add the higest sales tax into the price of the product
They could or they could use variable pricing.
so if you don't mind paying like 15% extra for a product then you should be happy.
I am not sure why this is an attack on me. I was simply pointing out the fact that there was no legal requirement that the buyer pay the sales tax. This is also true of the franchie fee that cable companies charge; it is up to the provider to pass along the fee and there was a time when the franchise fee was not a line item.
I was only pointing out that buyers are not legally required to pay a sales tax.
In terms of the how, variable pricing, which is already implemented. I can go to two stores of the same company (sometimes in the same city) and pay different prices for the same product. You can easily price products that factor in sales taxes as an operating expense. The franchise fee that cable companies pay to the local municipality is a good example. The industry shifted from paying it out of their budget, to a spearate line item on the bill.
A local hardware store is indeed paying sales tax, but they choose to pass along that tax to the buyer as a separate line item on the bill. As I have commented on this topic many times, there is no legal requirement in any state that has sales taxes, that the buyer pay the sales tax only that the seller pay the state the sales tax.
That is incorrect. There is no requirement that the seller must collect the sales tax from the buyer, only that the seller pay the sales tax to the state. A seller can pass a sales tax along to the buyer or pay it themselves.
This is true for the forex market as well. I used to work for a trading platform and the backend is written in Java. The clients were primarily Java with some.NET. All the integration code with FIX, STP providers, and the banks (such as Citi, UBS, RBS, DB) is Java.
Doesn't seem like it took that long for Bill Clinton to be disbarred. It just wasn't very well reported when it happened. It was not well reported because it never happened. Bill Clinton voluntarily resigned from the Arkansas and Supreme Court bar rather than face disbarment, after he was suspended by both the Arkansas and U.S. Supreme Courts. His suspension, for five years, was part of a settlement to avoid perjury charges.
No sitting or former president has ever been disbarred by the Supreme Court.
You are arguing that no FURTHER intrusion on citizen's privacy is being suggested, and furthermore that the IRS can be trusted neither to lose the information, nor abuse it. The IRS already has your taxpayer ID and the credit card processor has it as well when you open up an account (because they will do a credit check.). There is no new private information being exposed here, either to the IRS or processor.
Children become sexually active much eariler than puberty. Most toddlers masturbate and prepubescent children can have an orgasm, some as early as age five.
Who cares? Me, and many others.
Money isn't going to do you any good unless you spend it. Maybe that is true for you but that is not true for everybody.
It's a lot easier to tax purchases than to tax income; it doesn't require as much administrative overhead and enforcement action. There are plenty of companies that do not send the correct sales tax to the state.
It's easy to make sales taxes non-regressive by giving a credit for basic living expenses, and by not taxing essentials like groceries, and then having higher sales taxes on luxuries like $50k+ cars, yachts, airplanes, mansions, etc. than on other goods. Odd, that starts to look like income tax code we have today. We will have deductions, exemptions, and credits too.
Walter L. Wagner does not have a PhD in any science related field. He does have a JD from an unaccredited law school in California. He was rebuked in 2003 for acting as his daughter's lawyer when he is not licensed[1] in Hawaii. He was indicted[2] in February 2008 on first-degree identity theft and attempted first-degree theft from a commercial botanical garden he founded.
From the NY Times article[3]:
Mr. Sancho, who describes himself as an author and researcher on time theory, lives in Spain, probably in Barcelona, Mr. Wagner said. Since Mr. Wanger is acting as his own attorney, it is odd he does not know where the other plaintliff lives.
Wagner calls himself a nuclear physicist when he clearly is no such thing. I am assuming he went to the unaccredited law school because it was cheaper and easier to get the JD, especially if you have no intention of taking the bar. It looks professional on your resume and you can call yourself doctor.
The valley does indeed favor bottom-up innovation, because that generates properties for acquisitions. Most companies in Silicon Valley would not exist in the form they are today if it were not for acquiring other companies or product lines - Oracle, Marvell, Sun, AMD, National Semi, HP, and yes Google.
Several points in the Slate article: 1) Ireland has a different tax rate for artists, which is lower than the default rate. 2) Netherlands does not tax royalties from music. 3) Bono was advocating Ireland spend more on African aid, yet did not want to help pay for that aid through taxes. 4) Many liberal celebrities tend not to practice what they preach in terms of a progressive tax system.
It is well known that Ritek is junk. They make different quality media, second and third class. They have even produced fakes, media with another company's media ID. Let us go back to 2003, when Pioneer got out of the blank media business. Pioneer was one of the top tier producers and Ritek decided to step in and produce disks that were Pioneer branded. They have also faked their own media, producing third tier media labelled with their second tier media ID.
The manufacturers with at least 95% reliability are Hitachi Maxell, Mitsubishi Chemicals/Mitsubishi-Kagaku Media/Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Sony, and TDK. You can never be truely certain what media ID the disk is using unless you buy it. Just because Brand X is using Sony media today does not mean it will be using it two months from now. Brand X may have several different suppliers. You could end up with media produced by MCC and Ritek.
The reliability classes are 95-100%, 80-95%, 50-85%, 0-50%. Then there are the fakes, disks with faked media IDs. These disks float around online auction sites, flea markets, and sleazy dealers.
Just because TDK is a top tier manufactuer does not mean all their branded disks are first class media. They supplement media from second and third class manufactuers. I stick with Sony (Sony and Taiyo Yuden) or Verbatim (MCC and Taiyo Yuden). FYI - Verbatim used to use media from Ritek and CMC.
The government throws trillions of dollars (which are stolen, for all intents and purposes) at things that people perceive as problems.
Stolen?
The war on drugs creates more drug use, the war on terror creates more terrorists, the war on poverty, causes more poverty.
Stop with the conjecture, provide references.
The point is, there is nothing the government does that private companies or individuals couldn't do cheaper and better.
Look around at all the corrupt businesses. There will be no transparency with private organizations. The problem with private enterprise is they are profit driven entities. Just because a private ogranization can be better dees not mean it will be better. This reminds me of all the people that said mutual funds could provide far greater return than FICA, with less costs. When the CBO (http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/52xx/doc5277/Report.pd f) looked at the annual administrative costs and asset reduction at retirement, they concluded that mutal funds have operating costs ten times greater than the SSA and provide extreme risk to retirement assests.
The world is not black and white. There are complex social problems out there and one ideology is not going to provide a cure.
What's wrong with occasionally re-wearing dirty clothes or living in a messy house?
Are you married? Do you have children? It does not sound like it. You need to have a baby and stay at home with that child to truly understand. After about two months of being the homemaker, I had a new found respect for all the women that stay home. Anybody that thinks it is easy or they will have leisure time, needs a dose of reality.

Have you tried therapy? Maybe you are clinically depressed or have other disorders. Reading your comment http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=233965&cid=190 52309 makes me wonder. What do you hope to achieve by dangling a laptop out a window? The last statement, "My feelings towards other people are similar," is quite disturbing.
You are sadly mistaken if you think a full time caregiver has any time to do professional work. I was a stay at home father for the first three years of my daughter's life. I thought I could work around 20 hours a week. If you combine the hands-on time with my daughter, and the laundry, cleaning, cooking, and other housework, I was exhausted and had little time for anything else. My extra hours in the day were spent doing things for me, not my employer.
