BRS now charges sales tax?

NH is fairly exceptional, true. You have a partial income tax but no sales tax. That benefits poorer people.
How the heck do you keep your state running with so little tax revenue? Are there other taxes other states don't have?
My state has sales tax but no income tax. That benefits wealthier people.
When I was working, I was so happy we didn't have an income tax.
Not that I'm retired, we need to institute an income tax and reduce the sales tax, it's only fair. ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

Property taxes, car registration, tax on prepared foods. They make up for it haha. Car registration is absurd! My 2 year old Ford Escape registration was close to $400. It goes down each year but still...crazy high!

I'm in Florida. Our sales tax just went from 6% to 7%. We dont have state tax when we file just federal. Property taxes are eh... but, the price for paradise. Lol!

And yes, this is the catalyst. And everyone should vote regardless of their party if they are able to because we are all taxed enough.

Personally speaking I with everyone had to write a monthly check to both the State and the Federal governments, including any city taxes. I bet people would vote a lot differently once they write that check or hit submit on the monthly payment button. Automatic payroll deduction and earning statements people tend to gloss over but when they have to actually sit down and do it, well, it just feels different and the angst will remind them next time they vote to add $.05 cents or $0.35 cents to a gallon of gas or anything else you vote it only to be later kept permament...

Rant off.

I agree with this. Everyone person should have to write the check that gets sent to the IRS. It should be illegal for an employer to collect them for them. I have a feeling though half the people in America would come up short at the end of the year.

No sales tax here in Oregon.

As a 10% sales tax Washingtonian with a nice car and plenty of time, I like this! ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

Many people do pay their own taxes, and unfortunately it's not all due at the end of the year.
Wouldn't that be great!
No, you have to make quarterly payments, based on previous years income and tax.
Significant penalties if you don't.
Still, slightly better than monthly (or biweekly) payments with payroll deduction.
Although even payroll deduction can be fudged a bit so that you pay less up front.
