"Free ride is over -- Amazon.com collecting California sales tax"



Even though this is 100% true, have you ever tried explaining this to someone in real life? The look of utter confusion and disappointment on their face reminds me of a kid that discovers there is no Santa.

Yeah, usually works pretty well if I explain it along the lines as:

"If you own it, what happens if you do not pay your property taxes, and the subsequent fees? If you rent, you do not have property taxes so what happens if you stop paying your rent? Either way, you lose your property even if you 'own' and have no mortgage."

I just chuckle when people tell me they own X amount of land. Sucker, you lease that shit.
 
You silly idiots. If you had any intelligence, you'd pick winning properties (ones that are going to appreciate yearly). The equity you'd gain alone from that will more than offset your property taxes. There are 1000 different things you can do with real estate, that's why it's the nation's greatest WEALTH BUILDER. Stop thinking with just a few neurons and use your brain.

If you're going to troll, can you at least stick on topic of what's being discussed?

Like the properties everyone bought in 05 right? REAL ESTATE ONLY GOES UP.
 
This entire thing sickens me so much that I can't even read this thread.

I am so beyond upset that Amazon made this deal with the CA government. If they had balls, they would have removed their entire nexus and flipped the entire state off for passing such a dumb law.

Oh well. I have 3 new business ideas because of the whole mess.
 
The "hot dog" isn't to feed a starving person, it's to pay the policemen that stop criminals coming and taking 100% of your hot dogs.

We need publicly financed police why? Where I live we recently got rid of a bunch of them, because it was either bankruptcy or that. I haven't noticed anyone running through my neighborhood robbing people or vandalizing things. It did do one thing though. It's changing the entire landscape of our arts district, because they're now extorting the gallery owners. They've increased the security requirements for public events to help fund the police department. Based on the security requirements guess who you're basically required to hire? If you guess the police you'd be correct. Other cities are offering our best promoters and gallery owners incentives to move there and they're taking them up on the offers.

You want a quick way to get arrest without really doing anything wrong? Go jaywalk in front of a cop. In most places they'll ticket you, but here they'll actually arrest you.

I'd much rather have a police department that was actually responsible to the public instead of one that extorts it. Base on history is seems pretty much impossible to get that through a public service, because they are never actually held accountable for their actions. Will a private company be better? I have no idea, but it's worth trying.

It also needs to pay for the roads that you drove to the store to buy the hot dogs from.

Roads aren't suppose to be paid for with income tax. They're suppose to be paid for by the tax on fuel sales and tolls on roads. If they mismanage the funds how exactly is that anyones fault but the governments?

Without a tax on your hot dog income to pay for societal services you would have zero hot dogs,

So before we have an income tax in the US we have 0 businesses producing anything?

safety for his hot dog factories

Plenty of companies are currently protected by privately owned armed security companies. They're generally the first line of defense. The police don't stop crimes before they happen. They attempt to figure out what happened after the fact.

or educated hot dog scientists you would probably die of hot dog poisoning as there would be no public money to pay for a health and safety enforcement so hot dog kingpins could fatten their hot dogs with actual "hot dogs" straight from dogs asses.

Why do you think that private education is inferior to public education?
If a company produced a product that injured or killed a bunch of people, because of a faulty / unsafe process how long would they be in business?
If you're saying they'd be making hotdogs out of real dogs instead of what they currently do then I'd say it would probably be a better product than what's currently in hotdogs.

First, and most importantly, the only reason I am seeing your idiocy is because someone doesn't have you on ignore so I saw where they quoted you.

Second, you get off work at 11PM, you fucking idiot. Please give the forum more of your genius insights that you come up with while working the cashier at 7-11.

Kill yourself.
 
Why don't you have that piece of shit on block?

pewep is a possible minority just down on his luck. he's lashing out on the community perhaps perpetrated by his self loathing, which is in turn motivated by his (maybe) skin color. i was a fake blk in highschool so i can directly relate to peweps angst.

i think...i think i can save him 1 feels at a time

You're stupider and more fucking useless than a slut with a shut cunt bitch, just plain fucking worthless. I already said I keep REGULAR times for my business and I force myself to keep working until 11 pm, EVERY day. That's why I don't need to spam craigslist with shitty, retarded cpa offers to make my stacks lmao. Die in a fire and go directly to hell with the rest of the fucking losers please.

Negged.
 
That's why I said *SMART* shopping. Not all properties dropped in value.

I c now why people have you blocked.

The "smartest" shoppers bought homes sometime between 1990-2004 and sold them in 2005, so they were not only the smartest shoppers, they were also the smartest/luckiest sellers.

And to actually make money as stated in one of your other posts, they would have had to buy in areas where home prices were going up, which also then subsequently went down.

So logically linking your posts together as one "combined" statement on this topic, you have contradicted yourself. You are saying smart home buyers can make money to offset government property taxation because their homes will gain value, but the ones they would have had to buy to gain more than the property tax/mortgage would cost them would have also dropped in price after the bubble crashed, and yet you have now said not all properties dropped in value, except that the ones that did drop in value would be the exact ones you would be referring to in the earlier post as the investment tool property buyers use to make money to offset the mortgage and government tax.

Wiki pic for reference: File:USA home appreciation 1998 2006.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Most of the homes in the white states are the ones that didn't drop in value because they never gained much.
 
When that luck gives you a better lifestyle, lifespan, and more economic and political freedoms than 95% of the rest of the world.

There are lots of taxes, when you are buying something. Even if you are member of the UE, you will pay taxes because whoever made this, considers himself a genious.
