I owe a California Use Tax? WTF?!!!

No, that’s not true. I know what I paid your mother to do (though I still owe her that quarter). But there’s any easy way to straighten this out: ask your mother. Ask her if she was paid to suck my cock and balls, or was supposed to be paid to teach me about the use tax, but never got around to it because she was to infatuated with giving me that slurpie.

But you seem insistent that your mother taught you about both 1) the use tax and 2) how to do a good job of slobbering over cock and rubbing it on your face. I had given both you and your mother the benefit of the doubt and didn’t think that you two would cross the familial-sex line. I find that hard to believe, as your mother seemed to be a nice woman, one who just love to have cock in her mouth and face. I’d be surprised if she would stoop to the depths you insinuate.

If you insist that she taught you how to slurp up the rocket, I’m going to have to call bullshit. But there’s an easy way to determine that: in her supposed instructions to you and how to properly nuzzle up to and slobber over one’s cock and balls, what song does she like to hum just before that cock erupts and spews over her face? If you can answer that, I will believe you about her. As much as it pains me.

Very interesting. It certainly doesn’t seem right to expect the out-of-state store to pay the tax. And as far as the resident, you either have to trust them, have a border check point, or be able to go into someone’s home and check the serial number on their appliance with the one on the receipt. Seems to be almost impossible to enforce.

You realize you *lose *points for trying way too hard, right, magellan01?

No, wait, sorry, you probably don’t.

Hahahahaha. Okay, I accept your surrender, you pathetic little pea brain. Next time, make sure you have ammo and know how to aim the gun.

Noted, with my apologies Gfactor. I shall make every attempt to remember this and avoid using this or similar collocations (cool new word, thanks :)) in the future.

If people really did pay use taxes then internet purchases would suddenly be a lot less attractive. I mean, a big part of the allure of online shopping is no sales tax (which the shipping costs tend to make up for).

Yes. And would cause me to have to drive to Best Buy and Office Max and the mall more often.

Actually, for me the sales tax thing isn’t a big deal, and i live in a state with the highest sales tax in the country.

As i said earlier in the thread, since moving to California, i’ve had to pay sales tax on my NewEgg purchases. This hasn’t stopped (or even slowed) my NewEgg purchases, because for me the main advantage to shopping online is the convenience of not having to drag my ass to the mall, find parking, and then trudge through the store looking for what i want. Also, online retailers tend to have more stock to choose from than many regular store. I know the selection at Newegg kicks the ass of Best Buy or Fry’s.

There are times when i want to be able to touch the merchandise, or where i want to compare things in person, or where i need something Right Now, and on those occasions i’ll go to a brick-and-mortar store. But if i know what i want, it’s generally much easier to get it online, even if i end up paying exactly the same price as i would in a regular store.

And, as noted previously in the thread, the attempt to attach use taxes to internet sales is at least partly motivated by the fact that the internet vendors currently have an unfair advantage over in-state brick-and-mortar vendors, because they don’t collect tax when the items are purchased. So, if collecting use taxes does make internet shopping less attractive for some people, then it will actually have served (at least part of) its purpose.

What you said. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever even looked to see if sales tax was being added to an online purchase. I just don’t care that much.

If I wanted to be super-cheap, I could drive down to Palm Beach County to buy big-ticket items, since their sales tax is 1.5% lower than my county’s. No online or across-state-lines purchasing needed.

Sigh, there you go again. Fine, let me continue to grind your sad little racist ass into a fine paste.

You really need to get over this pathetic infatuation with my mother. I know your time together may have been a big deal to you, given how little human contact you tend to experience. But to Mom, you were just another client. If she had a mantle, your photo wouldn’t be on it. She wouldn’t remember you at all, if your first check hadn’t bounced.

You’re also spending a lot of time rehashing everything she taught you. It sounds like you’re getting pretty sexually frustrated. Honestly, I’m not sure why–surely you could find *some *guy who would let you suck him off, at least if you paid him. Have you tried trolling Craigslist? It *would *probably help if they can’t see your face when you make the initial offer.

Like **mhendo **and RNATB, I don’t give a damn about sales tax online. There are actually several places I’ve shopped that still charge it. For me, it’s about convenience, as well as the ability to see feedback from other customers.

Wait—you must be confusing me with one of her many other clients. For one, as I said, the fee was just a quarter. For two, she let me slide on that because I was the first client of the day and she didn’t have change for the dollar. Feel free to reread the exchange. And if that doesn’t convince you, as I mentioned before, just ask her.

Though she might be angry with you for suggesting that she crossed the line and had sex with you—even if it was just teaching you how to slobber a cock. I still can’t believe she would do that. And I won’t believe it unless you can reveal the song she hums as she polishes the rocket.

Again, you’re confused. I don’t like guys or cock. Well, I do like my cock and the pleasure it gives me when splooge lovers like Momma Guns is working her magic on it. But you seem to think that if I did like guys, that that would somehow reflect badly on me. Why do you think that?

I couldn’t care less about your sexual proclivities. But you’re the one who keeps insisting that Mom taught you how to suck a man off, apparently paying particular attention to his testicles.

Really, this is just getting tedious. You’re not giving me any material to work with, here. You go ahead and declare victory again if you like; I’ll be over here with the rest of the people, laughing at* you like the guy who keeps shouting “cocks!” throughout an improv show.

Make a note of that preposition: at, not with.

Okay, seriously, could you both please shut the fuck up? You’re ruining an otherwise very intere… oh, wait. Carry on.

You keep getting this wrong. I merely pointed out that your mom never gave me those valuable lessons concerning the use tax, probably because she was so engrossed in sucking me off. You’re the one that insinuated that she has teaching skills not only in the use tax department, but in the cock slobbering department, as well. Until you raised the point I never imagined that she would share her skills with anyone, never mind that she would teach you. I find that beyond the pale.

Exactly.

Good. I find it appalling that an auditor from one state’s taxing authority even has a right to sniff around at any retailer in another state that didn’t even step foot in the former state’s soil. It warrants a hardy GTFO. The people that bought the tires are liable…even if it’s harder to track the consumers, that’s exactly who and where they should be going. Lazy ass bastards (MTA)…either sniff out and be punitive with your own residents or be more become more competitive tax-wise with your neighboring states.

We as a nation can choose how much taxes we pay and services we receive just by packing up a u-haul and moving from one state to another in search of bigger and better opportunities and I really don’t see much difference here. The same also happens when people immigrate here or leave, regardless of the legality of it. Businesses even do it to maximize their bottom line and their competitiveness. It happens. A long term solution for Massachusetts should be that they really take a deep look at how efficient their government is as well as their services and find ways to be more competitive…create more bang for the buck so to speak. Shaking down stores beyond their borders is taking a realization that you can’t handle your internal issues.

Being one of the smaller states (where a half hour drive each way to save $40 in tax) is a problem that you should have forseen and taken into account from day one if you’re any legislator or taxing authority. React accordingly you idiots.

magellan, do you make more than $100,000 (from mother knob slobbing or whatever, only the IRS cares about the source)? My sources say that that’s one of the FTB’s “red flags” to threaten you over use tax.

Yes. But I’m curious as to what triggered this right now. When I finally hear back from the number I called I’m going to ask them. I’ll pass on the info.

Have you seen our state’s budget? That’s what triggered this. Someone realized that they haven’t been pushing use tax collection, and that they could make a few extra bucks if they did. It isn’t something you did, you just got unlucky. I think all my clients but 3 got hit with these this year.
