  1. Why... on Internet Sales Tax Gets a New Champion · · Score: 1

    "It is being shipped to X where it will presumably be used in X. Therefore, you owe tax in X on that purchase/use."

    why? I mean that.... what did X do?

    infrastructure? like the roads? sure- the delivery company (*ups for example*) operations should cover those costs.

    why does X deserver a piece of the sale? did they supply infrastructure in y? the sellers zone?

    imagine the economic evolution if it stayed status quo- stodgy states with unenlightened taxation have less new wharehouses/shipping centers, and enlightend places that are friendly get more business

    fuck "everyone gets taxed thusly" lets leave sales tax independent across state lines, and have the STATES compete with each other for a balanced and fair market.

    if delaware does not charge tax, and I order from delaware- then YEA for delaware business enviroment!
    leave my state OUT of the equation.

    No.. from 1950-1959 there were 63 million - reread for comprehension
    I did have to read it twice the first time myself, but that is the conclusion I drew.

    presumably 11 million were not in use/retired over that decade

    it's still bogus for other reasons- such as the average TV supported more than one viewer
