Perhaps. But like Art, when I get a tire sale email from my tried and true vendor, I often click and buy. When I get an email from a random vendor, I usually delete. <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Fred W" data-cid="1407379" data-time="1539682879"><p>

I don't complain about paying sales tax on online purchases.

The "State" however you define it, has to get their revenue from somewhere. In South Dakota's case, and it was our case that decided the issue for the country, The state collects 4% and the cities collect 2-3% sales tax. The cities don't receive any property tax revenue so the entire city budgets are based upon sales tax.

Can't bitch about the roads if you don't pay for them.

By avoiding the sales tax through making internet purchases we are screwing ourselves. JSNS

Yessireebob! Love those cocktail parties where I hear complaints about taxes followed immediately by complaints about traffic congestion or potholes.

You boys will have to educate me on how high state taxes reduce traffic congestion.

All of us have to pay more.....for better education, transport and health services. And that’s just for starters.

Can’t have multiple expensive homes, vacations, toys and do just what we want to, without some pain in order to make changes.
