That's the goddamn stupidest thing I've ever heard, stupider even than the "use tax" itself, which permits Michigan (my filing state) to levy a tax against me, for a snowboard I bought from a company in Colorado - because I'll <I>use</I> it in Michigan.<BR/><BR/>This defies even the Statists' supposed justification for sales taxes - to finance the government which provides society with much needed public goods - yet Neversummer snowboard company does not benefit from Michigan's judiciary, police, public works or thoroughfares. Of all taxes, the "use" tax is perhaps the most specious, because its revenues cannot even pretend to be linked to a budgetary line item.<BR/><BR/>But forcing the vendor to pay the tax which statute generally ascribes to the vendee - that's as asinine as it gets.David_Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219164522772093422noreply@blogger.com
