    I feel the same way about your clickbait content behind videos. Please be mindful that this is a text based site used for discussion and enlightenment. Your ancient clickbait is annoying to me.

    I’m not alone. Read the room. See the votes.

    You’re not required to acknowledge or reply to my opinion. But I felt compelled to share.








  • Sure if we started the whole tax thing today we may do it different. But it’s culture created over time. Our sales taxes all started during and shortly after the Great Depression in the 1920s. I’m sure store owners likely preferred people realize what they were charging vs the govts take. This is why I like it now. It’s very clear what the govt is taking and what the store is charging. It doesn’t bug me at all to have it added on at the register. It’s all I’ve known for 40 years. Currently I even live in a state with no sales tax (recently moved here), but I’m in a small tourist town that implemented a “resort sales tax” of 1% to help pay for city services related to tourism.
