Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year

Sales tax was paid when the unit was New, if used then you 
pay it’s insured value , for if a product is in need of repair when mailed it should be marked unit is not working in need of being rebuilt .you pay what it was insured for . If it didnot work 
then never insure more-then 1/3 rd the value. I learned  this long ago dealing with the thief’s in customs ,if in Canada far worse.

The author of the piece you posted showed his ankle with the first sentence in the article. He lives in Santa Monica. Evidently, he hasn't walked down the boardwalk into Venice lately.

What is the difference between a yearly budget deficit/surplus and an overall debt? By what extension of imagination can one equate a 1.5 trillion debt with solvency/success as the author does? Hey, let's you and I pool our credit cards and go buy that new Rolls Royce and show everyone how successful we are.

What are your thoughts on the site I left ... ??

 www.transparentcalifornia.com ...

Did you even take a look at it?? Or is it full of the "lies" you alluded to?

Well they have to find some way to pay for the free healthcare and welfare handed out to the millions of illegals right? 

Scary thing it’s probably going to cost you more to fight it than what they’re trying to steal from you. Sad state of affairs.

@oregonpapa , once again, you show your true colors when running away from anything that negates the dreck you put out. As much as you hate "liberal California", Rump got more votes from the state than 11 other red states combined.
6,005,961 from California and
5,844,399 from Mississippi, Arkansas, W. Virgina, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, N.Dakota, S. Dakota, Utah and Montana combined.

If you want to throw out all that support, fine with me. That, and the writer of that blog is a woman. But you didn’t read all the Bloomberg references, did you? She’s one of the best bloggers out there right now and sources her info very carefully. To dismiss outright what she had to say speaks volumes.

And what do you offer? A far right site funded by a right wing billionaire who’s got this anti-union thing going. Why all the love for fascist agendas?

Don’t forget the two biggest and costliest wars we’ve fought were against such agendas (Civil War and WWII) and yet here you are, advocating for a return to their policies of being so anti worker.
It makes one wonder.......

All the best,

Isn't all this terrible left wing money grab the OP is talking about happening in the Good Ole Boy state of Tennessee? What's California got to do with taxes this Red State is stealing from it's fine upstanding citizens?
