You knew it was coming, didn't you? After all, the governments are losing 'their money' to internet sales.

Back to the same old thing, we have a problem with our government. It needs to be changed! Until that happens, things will continue to get worse for the majority of the people.

Symantic difference but the word is taken, not made. You could even make an argument for extortion or stealing but I'm not going quite that far.

The part that bothers me most is if you extrapolate it out based on the last 100 years, it won't be all that long before our tax rate, including all the misc and hidden taxes hits 75%, sooner in some places than in others. At the same time we continue to get less and less for our tax dollars when in reality the economics of size and technological progress say we should be getting more. Our tax dollars are being used for such good causes as unjustifiable wars and methods to further repress us.
