Sales tax is the universal government method of sucking our hard earned
income away from us. They look at it as though they should get a
cut from every sale made no matter how many times an item gets
sold. The tax that really perturbed me was when I first moved to
Texas 9 years ago they charged me a sales tax for changing my pickup
from Wyoming to Texas plates. I protested it with the argument that
I had already paid the 'sales tax' on this thing when I bought it
and therefore am exempt. Their answer....."Well, do you want Texas
tags or not?"
>Is this simply another way for the state to get more tax dollars??
Yes.....does this surprise you?
