Thread: Taxes?

I like flat and fair tax. Everyone pays the same percentage of income taxes, and anything beyond necessities has a sales tax. Like Tim said though, necessities will be a hard one to pin down.

What scares me though is when they start taxing online transactions. That's going to be a crappy day for everyone.

My state already does, sort of. I'm supposed to declare at the end of the year any purchases I have made from out of state, This includes over the internet, while on travel, everything and then I'm supposed to pay a rate equal to the state sales tax on it. They call it the "Use Tax". I bet your state has one too. I don't think anyone pays it though, because it is totally on the honor system and would be huge bear for a prosecutor to prove you have violated, unless it is one big purchase that could be tracked.
