I think my last post bringing-up policy and taxes was delete (can't find it anymore) so lemme censor myself here.
edit: LOL! oops, not deleted. That was on another form (notbookreview).
Anyway then, a redux. What I said before was I thought that internet purchases are supposed to be put on our state income tax return, with taxes then paid locally. And some other wizeass stuff about how VAT in any coutries that have it is ridiculously out of hand, and how every tea-partiers complaining in this country needs to spend a few months in one of those countries making a living and living to shut-m up and remind/show them how good they have it here. ...something like that.
