I've been doing my part to increase sales tax revenues.
I placed a big order with Dixie Art Supply this week. Doesn't help the sales tax base in LA but helps a business still trying to operate in LA...
Yeah, but the federal government is down there spending money hand over fist, and they I don't think they're paying state sales tax on most of it. Nobody's going to get into their own stash for anything they can get Uncle to cover. They wanted federal aid, and they got it. They're discovering some of the unintended consequences, IMHO.
