Pray for those taxes be the last imposed. Leonora Helmsley ( recently
deseased rutless jewish billionarie "HOTEL QUEEN" in New York City ) once
said: " We, rich people, do not pay taxes". The servant approached her and
said that landscaper who has in his family 8 children complained that he
wasn't paid for his work lately and endures hardship. "Tell the landscaper
to keep his slacks zipper up" - answered Leonora Helmsley.
I asked once a friend, a lawyer, why prosecutors, who manage to put in
prison innocent people, are not punished. He answered that it is the
innocent's fault that he ends up in prison. " USA has the best in the world
justice money can buy, nobody prevented the innocent to get the best lawyers
and defense, and not to be sentensed! " was the answer. " But what those"
best" charge?" - I asked. " $500 per hour and up!" - answered my friend.
European Union is actually a conglomerat of states. It has a constitution
and a government. If I, in Portugal, will get anything from any of 27
countries, I will not pay any tax.

Most states including New York have the "Sales or Use" tax. A while ago
legislation was considered to get the credit card companies to collect the
taxes on out of state purchases.

Ever hear of "use tax?" In Oklahoma, we are supposed to declare when we
file our state income tax the value of goods we bought out of state (while
there, by mail or internet order, or however) and did not pay Oklahoma sales
tax on. Then we calculate the amount the tax would have been if we had
bought the same goods in state, and pay that amount.
Talk about a rip ........ . And that comes from a guy who approves of
government services and has no problem with paying for them.
