To: Conservative Vermont Vet

You said — PS I would bet with that attitude, you were probably not at one of the hundreds of Tea Party protest?

Heck no, I think the state should not have “sales tax” or any tax at all, in fact. I think that all conservatives should stop paying all their taxes, but I doubt that they will do that.

You see, I came from a state that *had no sales tax* so I don’t like the idea of sales tax. And even if all states started charging the sales tax that they are supposed to get on sales of goods, that state that I was in — would *not* charge *any* sales tax on those online purchases...

I think the problem you have is that you’re living in the wrong state that *has* sales taxes. You should be living in a state that has *no sales taxes* if you’re protesting.

I would suggest moving to Oregon for *no sales tax*... LOL...

But, no, I do protest all taxes, however, I do not think I’ll be winning that argument, despite all the tea parties attended.... LOL...

And as a last note here, you said — How about we keep it that way.

The only problem with that idea is that *from the beginning* this was *always* a temporary moratorium. It was *never* anything else other than that. For some, that may be a *total surprise* — but it was always that way.

That’s like saying, when you go to a grocery store, you had this on sale last week but it’s not on sale this week and I want it for the same price as last week. The store manager would tell you that today’s price is the *normal* price — and that the price last week was the *temporary* price and you’ll have to pay the normal price this week.

And so, it was that way with the tax moratorium, in that it was *always* said to be a temporary abatement to allow time for certain of these online store to build up their presence....

The “sale” is over now... that was last week... LOL...

I’ve known that from the beginning. I’m surprised you were not that informed on the issue...

It isn’t about an individuals right not to pay sales tax on out of state purchases, it is about a businesses right not to collect taxes on behalf of other states. You just confusing the issue. L^O^L If states want their money, they should pursue the individuals, and face the consequences for doing it. It is bullshit coward politics to hide from the people by quietly making business do the dirty work. LOL.
