Originally posted by Damn Brit I know people have an allergic reaction when it comes to the word 'taxes' but a lot of states could do with that extra revenue.
It would also help level the playing field for B&M stores although, in the case of camera stores, it's probably too late.
It would also possibly help bring prices down across the board.
no, I agree completely. States are losing a TON of income and as you are well familiar with being in the Bay Area, right now it's the reason here in CA so many cities are pretty much at a 10% sales tax. I am not one who feels taxes are bad, however we need to re-assess the whole system to not only reduce the complexity but also the overhead of the tax collection system.
But, I don't think we should take this thread off in that direction...anyway, it's one of those things that goes nowhere really when everything is said and done. But we need them to keep the place running.
