    1. The tax foundation.
    http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/topic/92.html
    for an updated one. A major news outlet is about the least worthwhile source ever.

    http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22685.html
    That is sourced from the census consolidated federal funds report from 2005.

    Here is a link to that.
    http://www.census.gov/govs/cffr/
    Page 23 of the 2009 report should prove interesting to you.

    I do every year. My state even has a default amount if you don't have records. Many states have that option.

    I will not give it a break, anymore than I will give a break to those who steal from the honor fridge or those who don't pay to get into/park at parks. Sure lots of people do those things, lots of people are scumbags.

    What part of only exists for tax evasion did you not grasp?
    The law looks at what you are doing as well as how you do it. Amazon intent was to avoid taxes by running a sham company. They got caught.

    If the red states need the help, then give it to them. At the same time the people who live their or have that set of beliefs should realize this is what is keeping them fed.

    You remind me of the "Keep the government out of my Medicare" folks.

    I do. They also are often tax cheats.

    I can dislike cheats and thieves at all parts of society. Fix the log in your own eye before pointing out the splinter in your brother's.

    Wow, you are nuts.

    The Berlin wall was designed to keep the DDR residents in their satellite state of the USSR. Which was never communist/socialist in anything but name.

    The productive people pay taxes, you are just a simple thief. Look at Buffet who admits he should pay more he is plenty productive, he is also honest. You are like those tea-party welfare recipients who don't want to pay taxes or have the government interfere in their Medicare.

    Take a look at who gets how much federal funding for each dollar they send to the fed in income tax.

    Mod points are not supposed to be used because you agree/disagree with a commenter.

    It does not. Amazon operates a wholly owned subsidiary called Amazon in CA. It uses it only for shipping and tax evasion. They are now being called on that.

    It is constitutional to tax businesses in your own state.

    Then work to change the law. If need be break it in public and be arrested. Breaking the law in private shows you to be nothing more than a common thief. You pretend to have some lofty ideals, but you won't stand up for them so we know this not to be the case.

    So work to change it, if need be break the law in public. Breaking the law in private is what a thief does. He does not want the law to change he just wants to steal and not get caught.

    A company they control and is in essence part of Amazon. It only ships stuff for Amazon and is run by the same folks. They tried this little scam for a few years and should be happy they got away with it that long.

    It is not even more taxes, it was the same tax you had to pay all along. The only change is if you pay them at the time of the sale or when you file your yearly taxes. If this increases your tax burden you are a cheat and the reason why CA made this law.

    The law is on their side. If you really felt this strongly and were not just a simple thief you would risk jail by making your tax evasion public. That is the way to make change by breaking the law. You are not motivated by any lofty goal, you are just a simple thief motivated by nothing but self interest.

    The Blue states are the only ones making any money. The red states are propped up with farm subsidies and other federal welfare.

    The "leftist" state of Germany is the biggest economy in the EU, they are pretty much the only thing keeping it solvent.

    That is neither here nor there. If you do not like the tax code work to change it, instead of just being a tax cheat.

    If California did not have to prop up the red states it would not have such high state taxes. Federal taxes are a losing proposition for California and many other money making states. That does not mean California citizens should not pay their federal income tax.

    The whole point of the show is that the food is bad or the place is dirty. If this is not the case they invent drama. Customers are scarce because they chase them out if need be. They need drama so they create it if it is not there.

    Also being rated by Zagat does not mean you got a good rating. Even the worst rating they give would still mean they rated you.
