Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year
Considering California is the world’s 5th largest economy, $1.5 trillion would put it at the top to make it the best operating economy in the world, beating out all the other countries. Strange thing about all the money in CA; In spite of "rolling" in money, CA has the largest homeless population in the US. 1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians. |
grannyring You don’t pay sales tax in TN on a used item. The state made a mistake and must think the amp was new from a dealer.Nope, that’s not how in works in Tennessee - you won’t find an exemption for used items on its sales tax website. (In fact, the state invokes especially strict rules for taxing used motor vehicles.) In addition to its sales tax, the state also has a companion "use tax" that applies "when the sales tax was not collected by the seller on otherwise taxable products brought or shipped into Tennessee. The use tax applies to all items otherwise subject to sales tax ..." |
Strange thing about all the money in CA; In spite of "rolling" in money, CA has the largest homeless population in the US. 1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians.We have the most populous state, by far, of any in the nation. 40 million people reside here and 2nd place goes to Texas, with 29 million. Put everything into proportion and perspective and your stat, taken out of any sensible context, is weak. One in four families are at the food scarcity level in the entire US, not knowing where their next meal will come from. That’s just the average and in some states, it’s much, much worse. A lot of the homeless come here to get away from other states that treat them poorly. In fact, some of those states criminalize homelessness and they look down on them, punishing them when they can. Besides, the weather here is mostly nice, year round, so add it all up and Bob’s your uncle. Using google, look up any state and their homeless rate, and compare that to their population as a whole, and get back to me on what you find out. While doing that, also look into what each state does for their working poor as well as their homeless. All the best, Nonoise PS: a real quick search showed your stats to be misinterpreted, at best, or an outright lie, at worse. California has a homeless population of 0.4%, but has 22% of the nation's homeless. 13% of the homeless come from out of state. The rest are residents who fell on hard times, mostly through medical bills that bankrupted them. |
